I've Ben looking forward to cutting some bone every since i first saw it on here. I bought some slabs at a local shop and wasn't super exited, it want very gemmy and it was dark, not really colorful like some stuff I've seen. I want too surprised when the cab wasn't awesome, butit is still disappointing. I need to get to some big shows and look at some really nice stuff. Anyhow, here is my first attempt. It is varied hardness on one end, nice and solid on the other. It does have some cool transparency, sorry for the orange light.

It doesn't look bad, you got a really nice shine on it. But I do know how you feel, my first bone was not the color that I wanted, but do you do, buy it anyway, what else would you do.
Looks nice,

John, I think it looks pretty neat. I haven't done any bone yet but like you, it's something I want to try. I think the lighter ones come out more dramatically but this has a real nice patterning to it that's very subtle. I like the piece and think if you have more you should work it.

Hey, thanks for sharing your disappointment. We all have them. But, honestly, i think it's a pretty cool cab and you certainly got a better than average shine on it.
