ive used bone from a cooked joint does that matter ???...... if i was to get a bone from the butchers is there a preperation process ???

[BushcraftOnFire]

Cooked bones won't work Stony.. They will be weak and mushy (especially if boiled).. You want fresh bone that hasn't been cooked..

what animal were these bones off and what part of the body? thanks Dave i love your videos.

[BushcraftOnFire]

These were from a cow we found in a field. Leg bone and a shoulder blade

Very Nice Bro, Some Advice on the Sinew, It works much better in all aspects from spliting to making Cordage when wet, also used wet it will stretch so when you make a Handle wrap or haft with it it will shrink when dry and be alot tighter after the fact. Nice Arrowhead by the way brother.

@wildernessoutfitters

I actually did some wet.. and was having a hard time splitting it.. so I did the rest dry. However.. had I wet it before putting it on it would have stretched around the handle better.. and dried tight.. that's for sure.

Are you drunk or just watching a different video then everybody else? He showed proof of concept on the stone in the beginning of the video. Whats the big deal that he used a grinder? He still used less than a $0.01 worth of electricity (less if he is on solar) to make a usable/reusable tool out of something most people throw in the garbage. It doesnt get much more environmentally friendly than that knife. Quit trolling, you are wrong.

he made the grinder out of acorns and grass.

Great tip Bro.. We have indeed boiled and flattened before.. In fact.. you can make really nice fishhooks and curved sewing needles by doing the opposite and curving the bone.. Maybe i need to do a vid on that process.. Thanks so much for your input!

real craftmanship;) real inspiration..next time i search for bones and utilize it...Thank so much David,Tam and kids;)))

[brattfreke]

Thanks a lot for this.

good video. thanks for the info. only thing its missing that i would like to see is the bone tools being put to a use. to show durability, practicality. like cutting food/meat, cordage? would you mind putting up a video in future showing your bone tools being used? thanks

Found a great site on bone tools hope the link will work

uiowa . edu / ~osa / learn / ancient/ bone . htm

You can soak the bones for a couple of days to soften them. When I was searching for bones, I found some near water, but I found they crumbled easily and I ended up taking off to much when grinding them with my coarse rocks. They have a neat knife I want to try and a hoe too. I even found scapula tools there!!

really cool
