Although this is my first time using a jeweler's saw on my own, I don't think I did too bad..are you supposed to use beeswax when cutting faux bone? I didn't, but may try it next time just to see if it makes a difference.
Still deciding on designs and colors but it is exciting to have a blank canvas like this that is easy on the wallet. 

There is still lots of finishing to be done, hope to get one piece completed by the weekend.
