I like em alot, the pronghorn looks like it could be made of wood but with a lot more depth, they are really are cool good luck
 
That is awesome Steve.

Would that happen to be some of the Pronghorn I sent you?

Sweet!
I carved a pair of ebony,double-ended Maori fish-hook earrings for my Mom a few years back,with abalone inlay.
I love the simple,ancient elegance of this style of art.
Very nice work man!
I can't wait to see the mammoth!!!
 
I saw Tom Lehman walking off the course today at the British Open wearing one very similar.

Did you send him one?:D
 
I didn't send him one but I will send him a bill, thank you very much.

Check out this dremel-knapped carbon fiber arrowhead. I'm thinking of burying it in the front yard just to conuse future archeologists.

They look really cool Steve. I made some hearts for my nieces a while back from acrylic handle material. I'm REALLY digging that arrowhead though 2thumbs. I keep telling myself I'll make one for myself one day but not sure if it'll come out that good. I actually considered getting into knapping knives prior to using steel.

Thanks Guys,
Ive got a couple mammoth ivory projects coming up and I'm making more from the cutoffs. I'll post some up for sale then.

Hey Fletch, I'm also doing some broadheads from bone and Ivory.

It's a piece of .250" thick carbon fiber left over from a set of scales. If anything sets around here too long it gets dremelled or carved.
