Mainly, it stems from being bored at sea (USN 20+ years). I joined several Lapidary societies where I learned the basics and the rest involved a lot of trial and many errors over the last few decades. I took many projects on deployment and worked on them on my off-duty hours.

Thanks! This is one of the last pieces of mammoth ivory I collected in Merk's Bay on the Strait of Juan de Fuca in WA state.
