hi

I was wondering, isnt whale bone quite expensive ? im a dane and i make handles for knives in the old norse style, but in reindeer antler, and ive been looking around for some solid bone, to be able to make deep carvings, instead of being afraid of cutting into the spongie part of the antler

Great work by the way ! allways been fascinated by the maori culture

Where can I buy one of your instructional CD's? I looked on TradeMe but could npot see one.
