Hey Tiki Mango, Oh Yeah, The Bone Stinks when you carve it, sorry you weren't prepared. There is mantion of that smell several times here but not as strongly as it should be.
You did good getting the bone from the pet shop, BUT you didn't quite get the right stuff
Pet Smart, PetCo and others sell a small 4 inch shank piece for $1.99 which is cured, cleaned and bright white, No need for anything but carving, check it out.
As for the burs, you don't need too many but they are available on eBay fairly cheap, just search jeweler tools or just plain "Burs" and you'll get some great hits. The Diamond burs I get there too mostly from Dental products stores, they have them cheaper than you can find anywhere. They also have Inexpensive Micro motors too, check'um out!
Without a band saw, you can use a coping saw, (Home Depot, less than 10 Bucks ,get the fine blades)a plain old Hack saw, a sabre saw infact Any kind of saw you have will cut the bone into reasonable shapes, the Hammer wastes too much, but it works!
Hope this helps, Benz
