Curtis, I like the various colors you have in the "looking glass" photo - gives it a nostalgic (vintage) look.

HI guys. Bill Back bone of the group? That is Funny! ;-) Dan. I got/understand your tip, and do thank you for the suggestions. Mac. I tend to agree with you. I like beefier my self. Bill and Tim. dye the bones??? I'm not sure that I want to do that? although I did do something like that a while back, skin and bone with buffalos horn to blend it all together. Here are a few pic. of them. The first is skin and bone, the other is mostly leather with some bone and horn in it. the third is all leather. and the fourth is bone with leather . I have a few others, but I think I should stop there. ;-) Have a good night everyone. talk to you all more tomorrow. C.A.G.

Good morning everyone. Thank you Tim. Back to work I go today. I hope this next weekend, I will be able to do a number of bone blank glue up's . I have a LOT of disks cut, but sadly I have all but depleted my glued up blanks for turning. The next step that I need to do is color matching process of the bones. I need to lay the disks out and sort all of the disks, making piles of bone disks that are all the same color. Somethings this process is not easy, do to the slightly different colors of white. Having soaked all the bone in Hydrogen peroxide makes everything more uniformed, but there can be still some color in the disks. I find my matching the disks keeps everything uniformed, and even if there is some color, if everything looks the same, it all fits nicely together . Perhaps this process is not 100% nessasary to do, Sometimes a random colored bone handle also looks good. But for me, uniformity of color is one of my pet peeves. We will see what happens on the next batch of blanks. ;-) Then back to the design quest, trying to find new ideas and different looks, for the same things. ;-) In this photo's , the roped has some brown and a tint of red in it. in the wave there is a tint of brown and some gray. None of this really matters at a distance, but up close it can be seen. That's it for now. have a great day. C.A.G.

That just goes to show a creative mind you have, and an inspiration for us as well. Hoping after the Christmas rush I get more time to play as well. Keep the gears turning Curt.

Some designs come work fine, but just don't look right. I guess it true, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Had a few more min. today. So this is the last bone turning for the weekend. (I had a long weekend. burning up my annual leave.)(Sun, Mon & today/Tuesday.) The rope is a 10 start at a 1/8" spacing on a 6" pitch. with the wave everything is the same as the rope. but indexed 10 times with a 1/8 off-set. C.A.G.
