CSI puzzle

I "inherited" a very large, very cool sea urchin from my aunt Joan's house a couple of months ago. We like our house to feel like we live closer to the ocean than we actually do (kind of like dressing for the job you want...we have our house decorated for where we want to live). Anyway, we had it proudly displayed on the mantle when one day, the door got closed a bit too hard and it fell from above the fireplace, shattering into MANY pieces. I thought we would just need to through it away, but living with the problem solver that I do, he decided to take on the task of putting it back together! CSI Layton is what I call him today, as whenever someone on CSI is putting together a shattered bottle, etc. I comment on how tedious and terrible the chore seems. Grant did at one point wish he had their technology, so he could number and photograph each piece and it would then virtually put it together for him, but in the 2 hours that I worked today, he was able to put the entire thing back together, and you can barely tell it had ever been broken.

AFTER

There are only a few very small holes on the back (where I think the pieces were just obliterated when they hit the hearth). I have it sitting on the table in front of me and it looks as good as new. Good work CSI Grant!
