carving bone

<< < (3/3)

I usually cut one end off and boil them to get rid of the meat and marrow.  I have a beer keg with the top cut out and handles on the sides for a pot.  I can get 50 in at a time.  I have not had a problem with deer leg bones being brittle.  Wild bore and domestic hog are a different story.  I have also put them in a five gallon bucket full of water in warmer weather and let nature take its course.  Usually a couple of weeks and they are cleaned and ready to rinse.  I also tried making a rack from heavy wire and putting it in the oven on a cookie sheet.  The bones go on the wires vertical. Turn the oven on a low temp and the marrow runs out in the cookie sheet.

Those are really beautiful, I especially like the one on top.
