What was your prep of the bone? A boil in bleach? Or some other process to preserve the bone without it stinking bad in short order.
A couple of years ago I wanted to make some bones (the musical instrument), also known as clappers. I made two sets. All I did was soak the bones in bleach for a couple of days and then rinced the bleach residue off by pouring a kettle full of boiling water over them in a colander. I sacrificed one of these bones for the sgian dubh project.

I really don't know anything about how to carve detail into bone. It sounds like it would be cool. I don't know if I have the right tools on hand or how to go about it.It would be cool to try.
