That would take a lot of intricate tooling!  :o  Well done!

 

Now can you please explain to me why you are calling it a 6 foot turkey, when it's obviously a dinosaur or lizard of some sort??

Its actually a deinonychus skeleton, a larger version of a velociraptor

I'm not taking away from any of it, but man, you really did those teeth well. The bones you can kind of make them look how you want and we'd never know but the teeth...those are great!

 

...I gotta get better :)

Old thread, I know. But just want to say I think that is superb.

I really get the six foot turkey reference.  Been having a lot of wild turkeys in the neighborhood and yard this year.

For some reason, as Fall approached, I noticed some of them running. Not sure why but haven't seen that in years past. What struck me as they leaned forward and ran was how much they resembled a Velociraptor.

Anyway,  your tooling is sculptural art.

Definite sculpture art.  Frame it, hang it and put it in your office.  Or it'll make a really nice Christmas gift.  But I would keep it, myself.  :yeah:

Can you share info on how one would even begin to do tooling like that.  For a noob like me, I would love to just know where to begin.  It is stunning.

I use a 00 Barry King checkered beveler (the smallest size) to do alot of the detail work and I studied a picture of a real skeleton then used a very small checkered pear shader and lifter to get all the nooks and crannies, then used a micro filligree blade on my swivel knife to do the small decorative cuts
