Finished rough cutting all the elk up...
took long enough...longer work coming....
halving all of it for plates....to work...
save the points and the beams...starting that within the week.

I cut the 1st section off of the moose...
it is flawlessly white throughout...a very healthy beast...exceptional...
the "Maemask" and the full forearm to fingertip bracer will be exquisite...
Already have the patterns and designs in my mind for the pair...
the rest I am chopping up for other ideas....

A few have mentioned I should turn my attentions to certain projects....
but I have heard no word past just that....
and...well... that isn't much for me to work with...
and even less incentive to begin.

I've already created and am creating works I figured many if not everyone at tmo could use...would like....... multi-device in mind even...to appeal to all...and rendered...wild and artistically to boot ...functional art...stuff other communities and device lines could never... ever ...offer.....
and other than perhaps ...a dozen people hitting a thanks button and a few commenting ...
no one seems actually interested in developing anything....
even though I can't remember how many times people have said..."if only someone would make _ _ ..."
...so working on projects others casually mention they would like .........would result in ...what...?

In the immediate ...I will be continuing the fine detail on R3ND-R ...
then cleaning edges and finally polishing the entire surface...
preparing it for it's preservation...
which means it will be preserved with a crushed black walnut paste rubbed into it...
and then the whole of it finely polished and scraped once again and it will be done.
The process of preservation means of course that it will not be available for reproduction ...
since the methods of mold making would possibly strip the preservative...and I will not be doing that entire process twice...

I will be continuing with the creation of said items for our device lines...that and more.....
but it appears I will be making such things for myself...
which I don't mind
But ...I had hoped... that I'd be able to get enough interest so others could have this stuff as well ...

I am no masochist ...
and though I make sure others are aware of my skill-set...
I am not interested in self-aggrandizement.. by posting stuff ad nauseum ...with no resulting movement ....

As a consequence ...I do not see a point in running this post any longer since taking photos, videos, and (sparing everyone the) extended posts (hehe ) ...do consume time I could be making things instead.
