wtt for deer leg bones
JW_Halverson:
If you are going to make arrowheads or knife blades from them you don't want them boiled or cooked in any way. It softens the collagen matrix that the calcium is affixed to, raw is best.
Fred Arnold:
JW= We boned out 143 this week. Next week will probably be similar. If anyone's interested, let me know. All hides and antlers are spoken for.
Eric Garza:
Hi Sadie, I can probably get you some. How many do you want? I get sinew and hides from a local game processor, and planned on getting some femurs for my own crafts so I'll probably be grabbing a few anyway.
Gus:
In reference to white tail leg bones for arrow heads.
What is the proper method for preparing the bones for trade or arrow head making?
I have started amassing quite a few bones as a byproduct of sinew harvesting and don't want to mess them up.
Do you wash them with dish soap and lay them out in the sun?
Thank You.

You certainly want to use a strong grease cutting detergent, Dawn works great! Sun only bleaches, something has to get rid of the fat.
