Nice 'pick, IM - really nice Elk on that.

Sweet Viper, Q - what do they call that bone color … ? Nice.
Monk! … I figured you'd be along! Nice sampling, Brother - more Beautiful Elk, and I love the Ruby bone !

Antique Amber...For some reason I just couldn't capture the depth of the color in the photos...I'm blaming my cheap-o digital camera. I just got a nice new Canon EOS Rebel T5 for Xmas, but I've only been experimenting with it and haven't taken the time to really figure out how to use all the fancy features yet. Once I do, however, y'all are going to be inundated with tons of photos. :lol: ::tu:: ::sneaky::
