I finally have my bone! Sorry if it's not the perfect bone, but it's the best of like 16 choices! I spent 25 minutes inspecting blemishes etc in the pet store! This is always a bit over one inch in width, and it's not the smallest version, but the smaller bones around 7 inches, not this 9, had either a crack, or were black inside, which I wouldn't think would make for a very nice handle. I also thought that these bones would be more hollow, or porous. I am hoping you can approve this bone 
May I ask where to cut it? How many inches in length shall I start with. I would think about 4 inches. No more really. I like a octagonal shape idea. I am debating if I can produce a nice pompeii sword. I think that most recreations I see on the internet by various suppliers look cheap! Anyway, HERE! I am still working bit by thoughtful bit on my plate dies.
Don't worry new threads will be made on progress reports after I've made a successful belt plate, and another thread on gladius #2!!!
