Thanks Brother. I used the mid section of the bone and filled both ends so it was shaped like a tin can to start with. To stain the bones i use a Derwent water soluable pencil. It works in to all the spaces with a damp paint brush then pollish over it and it stays in the low spots and whipes off the high bits. I ware a string if ivory beads carved and coloured in this way and it dosent ware off or even wash off. Tho the black does mellow in time as it is replaced by natural patina of ware.
