I am going to smooth, round the edges and face polish.

There's definitely some teeth there. Rotate the image/slab 180 degrees and there's two eye spots that bring a monster to life.

Thanks for the alligator remark. I was thinking of an Aztec alligator image.

I thought I could pull it off and should probably have not used the 60 grit on the bottom because my alligator developed a serious overbite. I need to take 1 mm off the nose to get rid of a fracture and will go ahead and finish it.

I might give it a serious nose job to even it out. I'll resume tomorrow.

Yes a serious overbite. Reminds me of my sister's dog, Grayce. We fondly call her "Sharkie," lol.

I can't do anything to the top. The fracture is actually a chip that I can sand out. No more cutting because the area around the jaws is hollow like an egg shell. I'm lucky I made it as far as I did. Sand. polish.... done.

This is what it will look like when finished.

It reminds me of Audrey II.

Robin

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
~ C.S. Lewis
