What kind of bone do you use for something like that? How do you prepare it?

Another excellent piece BK, your bones are getting better and better. Not sure about the two-tone plait though, what kind of feedback are you getting on it from your customers?

Pappy...that piece is in cowbone. Shaped on a bench grinder...Ben-they loved it, but good to hear some honest constructive criticism out of you finally! Bete-thanks hope you are enjoying your piece, and thanks-you're a patient, good client!

Ben, The book I mentioned with the Solomon Islands images is called Polynesian and Oceanic Designs, by Gregory Mirow.

Sandwiched between the Gope board and the Maori moulding sample is one of my funnier items...I made one of these headhunter trophies for that Haole Sneaky place a while back and it was a big hit. Hard to find skulls that are realistic enough...

Now THAT'S what I need on my workshop door! Wish I'd thought of that before cutting a hole in it... (so almost-wife can reach in & undo the latch keeping me safe from rugrat attack!)
Maybe if I plug the hole with a skull I wont even have to lock it..?
Great idea!

You mean it's not a real human skull? I would expect nothing less than the real thing from you!
Very nice and fun BK, always enjoy your new stuff.
