- My name is santi.I'm from barcelona, in this video I show you my technique to prepare a bone, disinfecting and whitening it and then carve a pendant ... I hope you like help ... www.etsy.com/sh... is my shop online.
Please don't boil the bones with the marrow still inside. The bone is porous and the fat from the marrow will go into all of the deep pores in the bone. This does two things First, it colors the bone an dull yellow color instead of the white to make it look like ivory. Second, the fat in the pores will turn rancid and no matter how you try, the piece will always smell. I scrape the raw bone inside and out and then lay it on an ant hill for a week or so to let them clean it for me. You have to do that somewhere wild animals won't walk off with the bone.
Cold maceration works as well. If you cant wait then clean as much as possible, inside and out, then warm water with a little detergent and bleach will leech out most of the fat and organic material. Its a dirty job but someone has to do it. Rebleaching can be done until bone is white and unblemished.
@@jimreille3155 I've done it that way too but since I have a large stash of cleaned bone, I have the time to do it the way I described. BTW, as a final step after carving and polishing, put the piece in boiling paraffin melted in a double boiler to do a final sealing of those pores. When the bone cools it gets a final buffing and stays shiny forever.
@@jusdafax1 Thats interesting, about the "after carving" fiinish. Ive not heard of that before, I learnt from a chap whos old school. As the piece is worn it takes on the wearers own oils giving it an interesting 'off white' look. Its a traditional way of doing things here.
@@jimreille3155 I also use soup bones for scrimshaw and the wax filling of the pores is necessary to keep the ink from running. I liked the way it looked and us it for all my now.
i have been doing it this way since i started carving bones and skulls, like 35 years now! i found that if i put a steel wire basket and a brick over it and then fence it in i have no problems with animals getting them and the ants get the job done.
Thought I clicked on the wrong video and I was about to watch a murder documentary with that first picture that came up ahah
The dedication of this guy or chic, Javed Woolston is astounding. Loved the video
Great!
I find that burying the bone in the garden for a while, then continuing with bleaching etc. saves a lot of the preliminary work.
My name is carrol im from new zealand. Thank you for sharing your amazing video. I am self learning on how to do bone carving so watching this has helped me a great deal thank you'
Hi Carol ..... Thank you so much .... I am happy that my video helps you .... My inspiration comes from the Maori art of you lovely country,New zealand.
Awesome video for beginners, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with us!
+Seraphic Machine Thank you very much for your comment.
Excellent tutorial! Aloha from Hawaii.
I'm glad you like my work ..... many thanks jntvstp
Hi, when this has happened to me I returned the bone to boiling water for a few hours more (only water - do not add salt) and then leave it to dry several hours or for a day or two. The more time the better. Normally this helps. Good luck!
Loved it! great work, I want to run out and get a dremel RIGHT NOW!
If you enjoy carving bone or want to learn how to. You tube is a great source of information. Hawaiian bone art is very popular. I have done several pieces in bone. Cow leg bone is the easiest to obtain and process. Dremel tools are great to work with. However they can be expensive. Harbor Freight is a great alternative for the budget friendly tools. They also have tool bit kits available with a variety of different options for working with bone. One other safety tip. Make sure you ware a dust mask to protect yourself from the bone dust. It can damage your lungs. Happy bone crafting. GF1 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😎
Hi Charles,
They are my designs, hand drawn, scanned and printed out onto one sheet for my reference. A lot of the designs are inspired by maori and celtic art.
Thanks for watching my video!
No worries....Good luck Charles.
Like.... wanna start doin` it also.... Nice craft...
Thank you
hello sir..i love your craft and love watching your video.. it gives me more idea how to make pendant out from bone... how i wish to have a machive like you have. God bless
Dear Santi! I really like your work! I would like to ask for some help! How long to cook bones with marrow? and when the marrow has been removed, how long you should cook ?
Greetings,
Balázs from Hungary :)
beauty!! Amazing job my friend
If I may ask where did you get the patterns? I would love to try my hand in bone carving. You do great work. Thanks for your time.
I was wondering where did you get those patterns that you showed at the beginning of the video.
I'm looking to do some bone carving but would love to start out with some patterns to get the hang of it all. Thanks so much for your time.
~ Charles
You don't eat the marrow ? Such a waste.
Very cool, thanks.
Hi Balazs ......... Sorry for the delay in answering ........ First you cook only 10 minutes to remove the marrow and the rest easier.....after cleaning cook as long as possible, for example 24 hours.
BRAVO ...EXCELLENT ..
Muchas gracias.....Saludos.
Santi, Hi from San Francisco, I was truly amazed by your fabulous artwork! checking into your online store now. would like to ask if you add any chemicals or paint to the bone other than the salt and vinegar you mentioned at the videos. I am thinking it would make a great present for a child of my friend.
Ya don't boil bones.. This is Big No #1. It fucks with the integrity.....
Not to mention he just threw all that good marrow out. Grill em or don't cook em
But thats how ya make good chicken broth 😅
@@Horologist-zu5vq Good ol chicken soup, now made from BEEF!
Or maybe that's one bigass chicken leg
@@vorv9554 Beef Chicken Noodle soup! My God! Brilliant man!
What did you use to polish light?
Tx for the tips mate
I noticed you used vinegar. I believe you do not want to use vinegar because it soften up the bone.
Thank you for showing us this. I'm very interested in the craft. I reported all of the spam and mild harassment in the comment section. How long approximately did it take to finish this piece? All the best from Sweden.
Ihaveausernametoo reporting won’t do anything, it’s just annoying and abnoctious.
@@skriblez9001 Who's it annoying to? The spammers?
hello, i have a cow bone, and it is white on the outside and light brown in the middle... does this mean it is too greasy to carve?
Hi ddbrinkley1. Yes I do. Message me in my etsy store if you are interested in discussing!
Thanks
Hey, what saw do you use to cut the ends off? Is there a certain one I'd need?
Hola Santi, cuanto tiempo dejas cocinando el hueso?
How is the image traced onto the bone? There is some black sheet placed over the bone then a piece of paper is placed over that and traced, how does this work? What kind of sheets are used?
Use carbon paper. It should still be available in some stationary or office supply stores.
I do the same as you but i still have a deep blackness... How do i get rid of that and have a lovely white bone like you have?
Hope you didn't throw away all that delicious marrow, it's nutritious as FUCK!
what is the brand of your carving tool? i only have a dremel and a scrol saw and what kind of bits do you use'?
It's known as a flex-shaft rotary tool. There are several companies that make them. Foredom, Grobert, even Dremel makes a model I think.
okay....thanks
BEST ONE FOREDOM
LOL, I didn't realized that I message you before sorry about that.
How hot was the water?
How much for a manly pendant
which bone part is that ??
+Vickor Gunandar hi Vickor...yes...is cow femur.
From what bone?
i've tried to carve an arrow point with my knife, now theres no more edge in it.
