RE: How do you prepare bone for luth... (in reply to babalu) 
Funny thing .. this morning I was looking at some elk bone that I had picked up in the field last hunting season .. said to self; self, time to cut this up and see if it's any good.

Found this info a couple of years ago.

There are some people that temper the bone with heat to increase the hardness .. if my memory is correct (most often not), it is approximately 200 F. for 1 - 2 hours.

Make friends with an elk hunter -or- better yet, go elk hunting.

Hi,

I dont know how to prepare a bone for use in instruments but I wanted to thank jstelzer for the link.

Two years ago a luther gave me a bone that has all the fat still in it, he said I could use this just as well. Now I think I will get another one, just to be sure.

Thanks Jim.

Rob.
