Hey Dewey as an ex South African those elephants look really great. If you could produce these in quantities and make them economical there is a real market for a product like this. Think about doing the big 5. Depending on who you talk to this gets tricky but you want to look at Lion Buffalo Rhino etc.

This is typically what is done with a number of items manufactured in the South African craft scene such as say coasters where each one gets a different animal but the set is labeled big 5.

One observation is that you really seem to have mastered the inlay process. The complexity and clarity of the image edges is great.:thumb:
 
I think Dewey is just using a fine tip sharpie on those :eek::rofl::rofl:. No really Dewey, you sure have that down pat, I couldnt think of doing that flat, let alone curved :eek: super job:thumb:
