WOW! That is fantastic! If you don't mind my asking, how do you color the recessed relief portions of that amazing carving and maintain the white of the raised surfaces?

Phil it was painted with water solution of KMnO4 on all surface and later(when handle was dry) polished with buffer and white compound. Its simply way and give good results on antlers.
