Bone Cutting For Craft Projects
Yesterday was quite the creative day. I finally got to work with bone. First I worked on the rhythm bones I'm making out of cow rib bones. Fletcher showed me how to work the belt sander and the band saw. And I used the Dremel too.
Then while we were cutting bone, I remembered the bone I got at a pet store to make hair sticks, so I ran in the house and grabbed that and cut that on the band saw. I just made the major cuts to separate it into 3 pieces, when Fletcher noticed it was making noise. He couldn't figure out how to fix it so I couldn't use it anymore. I used the Dremel instead to make the rest of the cuts.

I've finished the top of my woven hat. Now I need to flip it over and make the brim.

My goodness I've been busy, but haven't been posting here. Just off the top of my head I'm working on the following projects:
I just threw four pots. The line up so far is a bowl, a vase, a milk bottle shaped vessel, and a pitcher.
I'll keep you posted on how that goes.
