Look like twisted wire, because they are. :) :) :)
Was the only thing I could find that fit. So I bought a silver bracelet, and cut it apart. :)

Lost a foot, so will have to see how to re-align body and head.
From the fire side, no problem, it was the darkest part anyhow.

OK, only took 18 tries to get two fitting tusks. :) :) :)
Best picture for now showing the grey colour from the rind.

Not too happy with pictures yet, so will have to continue to try to do better.
Here a number of different angles and backgrounds

Thanks for bearing with me for that long, Kurt

It was worth the wait, Kurt, that is spectacular. I kind of like the upper right pic in the set of 4 best. Good job, once again. :)
