Rick,

thank you for the compliment, but you can not imagine, how many pictures I have deleted, and even now, sharp is none of them

.

About molar:

Often, when material itself has such a level of expression, elaborate details can be even disturbing.

I think, more then in carving of some other material, the craftsmen must feel and bring out in the most atractive way the natural qualities of molar. I guess, belief of a magic quality appears, when the craftsmen must work with a "predictated" material, that already has its own expression. A little bit similar feeling appears in carved wood hilts with pelet (most of them probably kendhit).

(But this are only my thoughts, without any importance.)
