-YT- Posted July 27, 2014 yeah bro you gots z skill any of your recent works forsale? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teonanacatl Posted July 27, 2014 yeah now to refine Im excited because it only looks better and better from now on, still a long way to go before its done though. Ive clocked 84hrs on this piece already and it will be another 100hrs at least till its done I think. YT the fish and the hammerhead are all thats left, good to see your still around bro!

Yawning Man Posted July 28, 2014 That little Hammerhead is my favorite piece. You have ahhh...how you say....Skills be paying the Bills yes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teonanacatl Posted July 28, 2014 Thanks YM. That hammerhead has surprised me how popular its been, some of the pieces I make like the little dugong, hammerhead, simple abstract shapes for necklaces and earrings dont really make it to the website or my facebook page, the hammerhead was one of those but it got more attention then blue jade flower I made. Just goes to show you never know what people will like. The hammerhead is quite small and was a lesson that going small doesnt always mean it will be easier and quicker! Ive got a large block of blue nephrite from canada and I plan to carve a much larger hammerhead from it. Skills are paying some of the bills 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ghosty Posted July 28, 2014 "- Dremel or Ozito (with flex shaft makes it easier)" my advise, dont waste you time and money on that rubbish! foredom is the only tool you want. if you cant afford one, save till you can. The dremel (crappest name in flexshafts) bit's are ok though, but NOT the "tool" itself. great work, pleasure to look at. thanks =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Laila Posted July 29, 2014 Wow, these are beautiful. Nice work there. I love your dugongs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ghosty Posted July 29, 2014 the green tree python is my favorite. awesome reptiles.. see them allot round logan river. often sleeping high in tree tops =) You have captured its detail very well indeed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teonanacatl Posted July 29, 2014 Dremel is fine for starters, they are cheap and will last for long enough till one saves for a foredom. I use a foredom micromotor and a fordom flexshaft. Im making another green python now, will be larger. Logan river? In SEQ? You should take a photo! They are only recorded as being found in the iron range/mcIllwraith range area if Cape york and then in PNG, it would be quite significant if they were found there as well!
