wooly Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Messing around making some bone trinkets this weekend. Finally got around to adding some color by staining a few with fire and ebony wood stain. Some work still in progress on a few of them. The two dark feathers were my first two attempts at them. Those two were stained with instant coffee. Feathers and points were cut from cow scapula and the heart and crosses from antler. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turkeyfeathers Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 You should bury one of these in an excavation dig or such You'd throw those archeologists for a loop 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wooly Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 Thanks guys! This burning actually looks really cool on skulls too! I still got a few deer to clean up and burn now. I hit that old cow skull with the torch the other day and sprayed on a coat of poly. Gonna try a cut-through spider web design on my coyote skull next, but I'll probably just use conventional stain on that one so I don't burn through the thin bone web! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Man Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 If you need a bunch I have dried hulls by the five gallon bucket.. Thanks to squirrels that fill my sled with them every winter as it sits in rafters in barn...add water or acetone and soak and instant dye .. Good for traps as well... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cross or arrow head of antler would make a real nice necklace for a hunter too! As well as the turkey feather! With a strip of rawhide. That stuff would sell like crazy at farmers markets and craft shows!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
