c.thep Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 My family owns a restaurant, so I have access to alot of bones, and it just recently crossed my mind if theycould be used as nuts. Some of these are nearly an inch thick, and they are very hard. I usually give these thick bones to my dogs, and they last forever. I'm guessing if I let them dry for a couple months, it should be fine right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpa Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Its the outer sections of the leg bones you are after, but not the porous parts that contain marrow. I heard that prepping bone requires they are cut into useable chunks and then boil the hell out of them to get rid of the fats and oils.

postal Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 I heard similar to southpa. Cow Femur bones, but I heard bake at some "secret" temp for a "secret" amount of time. I thought boiling for long periods softened bone, but I may be wrong. If you have access to them, you may as well experiment for awhile til you figure out what works best, but SHARE YOUR RESULTS!!

Mattia Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Why experiment, when some kind folks have explained it all before in detail. http://www.bearmeadow.com/build/materials/...bone-clean.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badsnap Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Mattia...that site is too cool. I am in the design phase of a unique hybrid solid body which combines a HB, a piezo bridge, a truss adjustment located at the neck/body joint, and the looks of an old, oiled spanish guitar (the fake sound hole is the truss rod adjustment access cover). I think I will now add a homemade cow bone nut into the mix. Thanks for the link!! Peace...Rog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
