Pat B:
Thanks Glis Glis. That should answer a few questions.   :OK

Hawkdancer:
Just read the whole sticky thread from GlisGlis!  Very interesting post!!  Time to work some bones.  Sending some to EdwardS for a "file along"!

Russ:
is there a difference in the type of bones you use? Cow vs Deer vs Elk vs etc?

Hawkdancer:
I don't think there is any real scientific evidence on that.  My guess is the wild game bones would be a bit stronger due to continuous stress.  Free range beef would also fall in that range.  That is a w.a.g.!
I will be harvesting some deer and elk bones in a while and hope to test.  My first thought was the bones should be very well dried, but then I considered that the original method would have been to use "fresh" bones from the kill.  Also, cow bones were not readily available in most areas in the US.  Have fun and post your results!

Chief RID:
I may try this someday. Thanks to those that kept this going.
