Bone Work

[Matthew Amt]

An easier source of bone is a pet supply store--dog chews! Get the nice white ones, not the meaty ones or those filled with yummy stuffing. The smaller types make great gladius grips. Big ones can be cut up for buckles, combs, etc.

First big hint for working bone: DUST MASK!!! Bone dust is VERY bad for your lungs! Great for the flowers, though.

There is a Yahoo group for bone-working, shoulda thought of that sooner!

Enjoy, and Valete,
