Description
This is a sea turtle done with Tagua nut, it was cut from a whole nut and took me about two hours till completion. I sand the nuts brown husk off first and pencil in my design, then rough it out with a Dremel at about 35,000 RPM. After that with a small carving knife I clean off the rough edges and sand it some what smooth with 100 grit sand paper, then pencil in the details and cut in with the smallest bit I have, which is something like what the dentist uses to make you want to bite him! Then sand with 250, 400 and 600 til it sparkles!
