Dan Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 im looking for any carvers that are found in the south chicago area. i would like to see and talk in person about your set up, the types of tools you prefer for most carving use, your materials or where you get your materials. and possibly make a trade of wood for any other carving material. im also inturested in geting some bone dust/chips that i can use for inlay material in my classes wood turning projects. would be inturesting to telling the kids that i have mammoth tusk, or wallruss tusk, cow horn, antler, stone, water buffalo horn, ect... then when we make wood projects i can help them do a inlay in the project. im guessing most people toss their dust in the garbage after they finish a carving but i can use it for decorating in my classroom and would be inturested in a trade. perhaps if your own art work calls for inlay meterial we can trade as i have stock piled alot of wood dust of several types of trees, even have a little brass and some dyed sand.
