The first thing before you decide to start the bone carving is to trace a create on paper; since you can do assorted designs on all the sides of the bone and it is a dimensional work of art; take three separate designs for all the sides of the bone.
To get the bone ready for carving: you first have to wash and clean the bone thoroughly. Remember to wash it thoroughly devoid of any bone marrow or flesh that is stuck to it. This is leading as it will help you to carve the bone better. Soak the bone in soapy water which is nice and hot for a full day. Then take off it and let it dry. Saw it down to the requirements of your design. If you are making tiny figurines or chess pieces you many need to saw it down a little more for the intended shape and size.
Spread your leather mat on the place you intend beginning your work and keep all the required tools at hand. Using the etching knife and the gravers, moderately carve the smaller aspects of the design. This will help you get the knack and practice, by using the filing tools moderately file away at the edges and start shaping the bone to get the frame of the design. Keep repeating the course until you get the faultless create on all the sides of the bone. After the create is complete; use sandpaper and sand down your bone. Now you are all set to display your creation and this can be an ideal hobby for the children on vacation or a great gifting solution.
