When turning bone or antler, have an open window and wear a mask. A
good mask and maybe one of those constant air moving air fresheners.
It reminds me of a slaughterhouse or maybe burning hair (I used to
fight forest fires). Bone is often easy to obtain at the pet store,
already cleaned and ready to use. The dust is miserable on your lungs.
The flip side is that bone can be carved to beauty, engraved and
colored as in skrimshaw and that antler has gorgeous color variations.
Some areas can be very spongy but harden well with CA.


IIRC, antler is hair. Which is why it would smell like burning hair.

And bone, well ... 'Dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones ...'.

Perhaps a job for LDD?
