Thank you ! I can see your point and will be getting  some more tools .  I am unsure as to background tools , I am thinking bar grounders maybe ? I really don't know what I need , the one I used for elephant skin is a pebble thing that came with a cheap set of tools I bought .  Lifter and background tool are on the list ... waiting on finances .  Thank you

you can go cheap and make your self a few background tools pretty easy if your handy. stainless bolts, a file or two and a drill made these. i also made my lifters and modeling tool from stainless allthread a couple brass nuts and something for a handle i used leather washers .

Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms.

They look really nice.  Better than my attempt at animals.  

The wolf looks more like a husky dog....wolves have a longer snout than dogs.  (Think wiley coyote)  I thought you were going for a husky until you said otherwise and thought it was a perfect husky dog.  Although the "cute" wolves in cartoons these days tend to have shorter snouts....can't have the kids afraid of all them sharp teeth.  So if that was what you were aiming for you nailed it too.  

Otherwise it's awesome work....

 

Thank you , I may call it a husky then :lol: and no I would never teach a kid about the " softer side of life " I don't even " harvest " deer , I still kill them ;)

Yep, I like the shape as well! Surprising at first, but then it occurred to me that the only reason most coasters are round is that they are stamped out in mass production. Yours are really unique pieces!
