Bone needles and fish hooks
« on: January 29, 2013, 06:50:26 pm »
I was playing around with some soapstone and a graver made from Texas Rootbeer.  I did cheat on the first three and used a broken piece of hacksaw blade to cut the slot.  I came up with these.  Mostly deer leg bones.



The hooks are from deer toe bones.

The sense of accomplishment you would get by catching a fish with one of those hooks would be worth all the rice in China.

These are very nice! I made some hooks like the toe bones ones, but never got the chance to try them out! Satisfying making these, has to be a real thrill to catch a fish with one.

Nice work I make a lot of bone stuff myself. Made some nice earrings for the wife out of deer needle bones.
