Hello Again Tim. The 7/8" diamond hole saw (35mm) is the best size, that I find for most projects, You can get the most out of the bone. My 1 1/4" set cuts very well, but I only get 3 sometimes 4 disks out of the bone using it. The 7/8" will normally give me 6 + depending on the size of bone I start with. And YES the thickness of the bone is much better using the 7/8" cutter.
As far as color, If the bone is still green ( new or fresh ), or it just has a color that I don't like. I will soak the bone after cutting, in Hydrogen Peroxide (2-3% drug store stuff, not laboratory quality .). for a few days/weeks to bring out the whiteness of the bone disk (as well at to remove to oily feel) form the bone disk. and then drying the bone in a dehumidifier until it is dry enough to use for my project. I really enjoy using bone in my projects. I like how it feels to the hand, and how it looks. (I think it looks like Ivory.) I am still trying to find other ways to use bone in projects, but so far this method it the best that I have found. I have been playing around with trying to cut staves out of the bone, and then gluing them together, sorta like making how company's make bamboo into a lumber. Im not sure how it will work? but I have been playing about with the idea, for a while. Keep up the good work with your bone turning Tim. I cant wait to see what you come up with next. ;-) C.A.G.
