A lot of us kiwi jade carvers get a start with bone carving, heehee. Bear bone, now thats cool! Please try to post a piccy eh?

As above, beef 'shank' section of the leg bone is about the best I know of. I have carved a fair variety over the years.
Whalebone is often quite porus & a bit controversial like elephant ivory, while cows are abundant.
Most fishy horns/spikes etc small revolting when carved, I wouldnt go there...

Hope this helps. Tama
