Thanks Amate, I appreciate your words of wisdom. Most of the time I prefer the wood too but a couple years ago a couple friends twisted my arm and got me started carving jade and stone and it's like a real battle between the 3 of them and then some bone was thrown into the mix and in many ways bone wins out because it demands all your skills but I really like the media I am carving at the time the most. It's like I'm being torn between them all?  
Buzzard, Thanks,, More tools wins All the time! What you need for stone is a water drip/siphon system (bucket with tiny hose) to keep the burs cool .
C'Al, Thanks for the pic, He can't Help but smile with you standing next to him!
Jerome, Thanks for checking inn. 
Marcus, Thanks, but I think I'll leave the giant guys to you guys.
You are doing super well enough with them!
Kino, Well I thanks toy too! (Watch that dropped Jaw, it attracts flies.)  
Thanks everyone, had a real mean back recently but am feeling better some. Here is some more work on the jade I started awhile ago.
Long way to go yet but I think he'll make it all right.

A fine jade master piece, sensei carver. Can't wait to see the moko finished!
Yesterday, I wondered where had been forgotten the great tusk started some time ago... I am happy today to see the progress pics.
I stay tuned sensei carver!

Thanks Jerome, I had not forgotten this guy, just had him on the back burner for awhile.

Jerome, thanks, I'm still learning and from all you guys too!
Here is a short update. All these lines are preliminary and need widening and cleaning as well as more depth.
