The first half of a chess set carved from whales teeth (all the teeth were antique souced from auction houses, ebay, and local antique shops. this represents 5 months work. carved and designed by me, for a commission by a private client.
The other half is in progress. but stalled by the shortage of raw materials. ( not a bad thing)

OUTSTANDING!
I would love to see this featured in WoodCarving Illustrated!(even if it's not carved from wood).
Excellent work!
