something to do whilst sitting out back by the fire on a chilly jan mornin

cracker:
Is the second one saw cut?

Lee Slikkers:
Those are great...I have about 25 or deer legs waiting for me to skin them out (want to tan the hock hide with dew and hooves attached) extract the sinew and toe bones and then utilize the bone for blade handles, bone points and stuff like you just shared.  What do you use to cut and carve on the bone?

cut em both out with the little saw blade on the leatherman
started with some stone tools but got really frustrated really quickly...
so out came the modern tools

Lee Slikkers:
LOL, I don't blame ya on moving on to the modern steel.

I mentioned I have all those deer legs, after skinning them what is the preferred method for cleaning them up and removing the marrow without making the bone brittle?
