Bone Carving

I have finally started to make my self a bone folder out of a piece of bone I collected off Grandmas farm.

So far I have cut the ends off the bone and sawed it in half length ways. This has rooted the blade of the hack saw either that or attempting to cut the antler which I also hope to make a folder out of also. The bone has now been cleaned in a solution of bleach, warm water and washing powder left for 20 min or so and scrubbed with a tooth brush. The bone pieces are currently sitting in the sun drying.

Bone pieces after cutting, the large will be a bone folder the smaller I may turn into needles.
