Default Bone Sea Turtle
This is my first bone carving. I purchased the bone from PETsMART. The carving was done using an Micro Motor and various bits and burrs including a tile cutting bit, diamond burrs and dental burrs. I used drums sanders, flap wheel sanders and emery boards. The emery board is a four step board with the fourth step being a polisher.
