Bone for carving
#7
The last one I worked with I just left it outside on the ants nest and let them strip off the flesh - they even degreased it. Then I cooked it briefly in hot, not boiling, water and it was ready for use. Agreed with Frank about all bones being different. It could take a while to get the right bone for the job. If you use sand paper or power tools then wear a mask. Inhaling powdered bone is hazardous.
