Rui- I like your avatar picture. Is that actually a picture of you? Beware that bone is made of both mineral and protein and can warp if one side is dried more quickly than the other--so it might be best to hang it up to dry--though for a thin piece to be glued down it may not matter if it warps. White (polyvinylalcohol), yellow (aliphatic resin), or Super (cyanoacrylate) glues all could be used. I have found the yellow glue is the more permanent way for gluing bone to wood (bridges). But since it requires clamping, you might prefer to use Super glue, which is sometimes permanent and sometimes not. Or you could apply yellow glue, tape it in place, then weight it instead of clamping it. (Some people seem to use epoxy cement, and I used to, but I had a bad experience with it once--a guitar came back because the tieblock overlay had come off--so I never use it any more.) I also liked your idea to wet sand. I hate inhaling bone dust, and who knows...mad cow disease....
