I have also heard Stephen Pearce talk. If I remember correctly, thanks to the new regulations about slaughtering animals younger he can get a maximum of 4 bobbins from one leg - if he is lucky. He buys them from a slaughterhous by something like the ton. He has to get the bone marrow out and gets so much that the birds in his vicinity are bored with it :-) When he has finished with a batch of legs he has to pay to have the leftovers taken away.
I can't remember what he said about his tools but I seem to think they are slightly different from those used to turn wood. My outstanding memory of his talk is that his bobbins are worth every penny he charges - and I thought you probably had to be lightly mad to work with bone :-) Patricia in Wales [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
