Title: something different
Post by: Bone pile on August 13, 2014, 08:55:28 am
 I made a basket for my cousin with an antler off one of the deer he shot. he had left some skull on the end so I made a little buffalo skull out off it.This is my first attempt at bone carving so it was a learning experience for sure. The hardest part was making those tiny horns. All in all I think it turned out OK and I might try carving again.

Wow, that is awesome.  Most people don't appreciate the amount of work that goes into a piece like that because it is "just a basket" and you can get them cheap from overseas.  That was a lot of work and you did a fantastic job on it.

Bob ,this a Mississippian culture spider, there were many spiders used in Indian lore. this one is supposed to be a water spider that brought fire to the people. The legs should have gone straight out but it was hard to do on a round disc so I brought them in.

Nice piece of work, BP!  I spun up a few crude little baskets way back in time, so I have an idea what goes into making something like this.  Good work, sir!

I would love to see you skipping through the meadow with it, Rog.
LOL That is a really cool combination of elements.
The carving is ingenious. Wish you could bring it to the Ridge.

Amaizing.
It is beyond to me to understand how you and others have so much talent, or where you get it from.
