Hi. Thanks for the advice. I had no idea it was that hazardous.
The problem with either fresh or sterile bone is that what I can find for sale always seems to be hollow sections, and I'm pretty sure this project requires a solid chunk. These dog chews are the only knuckle ends I can find for sale; those, and ones which are dried without being cleaned, and are greasy and brown. (I don't personally know any butchers who could provide a fresh one.)
If a useable knuckle isn't available, I could just use wood, but I thought bone would look best.

Prepared to go where my heart belongs,
Back to the past again.

To pick myself up from under this table...
