Cut it out!

Please find very basic information about creating your own carving.

You can use a machine to cut out the shape in 'rough'.

To get the shape as in your design, you can use a small jewellers saw... It takes a bit of practice, but the speed will go up...

Then you use sandpaper to create the exact shape you want...
and to get rid of edges you do not want...

For the 'finishing' touch, you will need to polish the bone, or better, you need to buff your carving. Buffing will give a really good finish.

Please note that this is a very basic introduction to bonecarving. There is a lot of work involved in this art form and these books on carving offer really good reference material.
