Do you use super glue or epoxy?

The barrel trimmer . seems to work faster then facing off the disks, but
there is still a lot of sanding to get every disk con-pleatly flat in order to
make our turning gap free.Once the turning has been glued together cutting on
the Legacy is pretty straight forward. rough cut the bone to the shape you
want. and then pick your pitch you want to use, (for roping) and then find the
router bit, (profile of the cut you choose.) since the turnings that I am
making are appx. 4" long and 1/2"-3/4" round, the router bits I am using are
smaller bits (1/8"- 1/2" size and profile.) Bone is very hard, but is takes
details very well. just make sure that your router bit is sharp, before using.

Hello everyone,bone is a very neat material to work with. but it has a few
draw backs that need to be addressed before you start working with it. First
the only part of the bone that is usable is the outer edges of the bone. the
center/marrow is not usable for turning. I have also found that the
cartilage/knuckle/ joint is also un-suitable for turning.So the question arises
How do you use it? Ive found two ways, (but there still may be more ways that
I do not know of...) the first way is to use the bone as it come naturally. and
try to make the bone round, as in a spindle. the problem is with this concept
is the bone is not uniformly dense through out the bone, so you may find thin
spots, where you can/could cut through the bone if not careful. (photo #1,2) So
what I have done is to use the bone in segments and glue them together to make
a solid turning. But again this runs into a few problems, Again do to the
un-uniformity of the bone its self.I have found two different way of handling
this problem. the first cut the bone into usable disks. which have to be faced
off on the lathe/legacy. and then latter I cam up with a home made barrow
trimmer.
[ Do to the file size I will stop here and continue in another posting.]
Have a good day.C.A.G.

Hello everyone.

Here is my newest bone turning. (it is a gift for a friend and mentor of mine,
for some 30 yrs. now. )
Like my last bone turnings, this is cow bone (bought form a pet food store,
sold as dog bones.)
I am planing to buy some American Buffalo bone, and see if that is better then
what I have been using.
So far the cow bone looks pretty nice (very much like Ivory) ,and cuts very
well on the Legacy, My only complaint is the labor it takes to make something
usable form the bone its self.The process takes a lot of labor, even thought
the cutting of the bone only takes 30 min. or so to cut, this handle took me
some 6 hours to make.I have plenty of pictures of the step by step process, If
anyone would like to make there own bone turnings I would be more then willing
to post everything.
Please let me know what you think.talk to you all more latter.Have a good
night.C.A.G.
