Ouch!! So sorry to see that Ben. I think we had discussed hard floors not being good for things like stone and bone work areas. I guess now's the time to break it to the Missus that all the tile & concrete floors inside the house and garage will be converted to a rubberized vinyl. I'm sure she'll understand.
Can't wait to see your next.

"All the king's horses and all the king's men
couldn't put Humpty together again."
All those hours lost, it's really sad and pity!
Fortunately I think you have yet some the materials...

So Benzart, maybe you are human after all. I thought you were some sort of infallible carving GOD. Maybe a demigod, but much more than just a mere mortal That piece was looking great, what exactly was that material?

Thanks Big Tiki Scott, it's OK, I already have another one ready for the Moko so it Ain't Too Bad now.
Thanks Tiki Mango, I m sure the Missus WON'T understand, she'll just say "Get a grip" and let it go there!
tikigodz, The gkue didn't help when I couldn't find all the pieces! Thanks.
BIG tiki scott, Thanks, Ya, I know, they had me goin for awhile too, Itz Cool.
Thnaks Jerome, What I hate more than the hours lost are the burs I used up on this guy. I had reshaped some to get those fine lines you didn't see and they don't last long
Excellent thinkin Babs, I might just see what else is in there depending on where the cracks are>?? Thnaks
Thanks AlohaI think there are several other beings in there and perhaps one of them wanted out!
Mad Dog, Well I Bleed likeyou guys and all that stuff so now you know, Darn!
That material is an aquarium rock I bought on clearance ata pet store. The bag had been opened and the contents were placed in a baggie with nothing on it but a 50 cent clearance tag. I went to a different store a week later and foung the actual stones in the original packaging: GLASS Aquarium Stones, Made in China and there were several different colors. I had already carved one at this point and liked it kinda.Surfin, Naah, Lookin good lookin'up, Got another one ready for moko and herez the shots to prove it!
Oh Yeah, I Also roughed out a sweet piece if jade TOO!

Thanks Big Tiki Scott, Appreciate the kind wordzzzz.
Aloha, No Microscope, just the mags you saw last time. What I did was use some 1mm inverted cones after I ground the top off flat so I could get a sharp clean edge!, Easy as that
Clarita, Thanks, ME tooooo, I Hates it hates it HATES IT! But I am really happy with the replacement too so all's well that ends well right?
Thanks Seeks, I think it's the Ancients slowing me down and telling me something, Haven't figured it out yet but it's there.
Here is today's progress as in Finished!
