Ironic! My son was just in Paris last week as well. He hung out in Montmartre several times.

Thank you!
Getting nearer completing my 7 day set of carved ivories. I just hesitate posting them.

Nah. Ivory, even when very thin is still pretty tough stuff .

I will be posting how I did these. I used diamond cutters. But for centuries it's been done with knives, scrapers, chisels .

I don't know the exact time. The carving itself went pretty quick. A few hrs. The cleaning up , sanding , refining the lines took more. Add in the scrim work and it all adds up. It was maybe 3-4 hrs...

OK, will do. And thank you!

Thanks guys.
I have some " in the process" shots I can post in the workshop if anyone is interested in this type of thing.

I picked up a couple of French razors for some ideas I have. This one is stamped Imbert Aine 119 R. Monmartre, Paris.
It's a Faux frameback and it worked just fine. Sanded and polished the blade....
