Thanks for looking

I used the bench grinder on what I could, but did used the Dremel for the curve in the bone. It wants to chip the little crystals out. Both materials were soft enough to sand by hand.

Not sure what to use any of my cabs for, yet, heh.
Some may get strong (polarized) magnets.

Hot patootie! Bless mah soul; I really love that rock & roll!
