So cool. And a VERY good job on the knotwork design.

carving knots makes brains collapse, when you need to present and hold the whole image in your head, very good mind training %)

This is why I always carefully pencil knotwork on, then scratch it in gently with a sharp knife so I can't smudge it away before carving. Keeps me from getting it mixed up and doing a crossing wrong. But then, my husband is the one who is better at designing knotwork, so he often does the penciling.

they differ, not only in textures (mammoth tusks have grid patterns). cow bone is "flat" concerning to "deep" mammoth and has lower dimension.

Around these parts, when we find ourselves on a particularly winding road, we compare it to "A Snake With a Bellyache.."
This might actually be a Gordian Snake.. with a bellyache.

Nicely done.

natural things are straight rarely, usually everything is weaving and winding, even when you see it flat
