Jamie, just wicked as usual. Do you have to prepare the ulna bone in any way?

Those are great points, but that is clearly not enough info or points.

lombard whenever you use bone make sure its dry. there is also a spur on the side of the ulna that will chew your hand up. good idea to grind it down. not that i did but maybe wire brush the rest of the meat off so its not greasy.

russ jump back in bubba, got a box coming to you in a couple days to play with.

justin the only reason i made the eccentric is because it had a turtle back i was removing. when i removed it the flake went through the hump and rolled the other edge off leaving a hollow where one of the tangs start. i liked the way it looked so did the other side and couldnt stop notching.   think im gonna do a knife blade with some funky notching in it. i suck at notching so these are good practice.

Hey jamie could you photo that bone for me I don't know what they look like exactly.  A deer died late winter and I want to go down a get the ulna.

john look at the last photos of the solutrean. the meaty bone is the ulna. if you find one from the deer it should have about 4 more inches of thin bone attatched to the end. i'll try and get a picture up of the full bone tomorrow night.
