Baz Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Hi all Haven't posted for a while, but here is my latest effort. We have an annual Hangi (Food cooked on heated stones in the ground and covered with earth for about 4 - 5 hours) for run holders in the Mackenzie country and the owners of the property donated a deer to us. This was made from part of the rear leg to give to our hostess. Her name is Annabel (hence the "A" (which was not intentional)). I should point out that I started out in a completely different direction to this but I am pleased with the way it turned out. This is my first attempt with deer bone and while it is similar to beef bone, I found it to be quite a bit lighter but denser to work. As always constructive comments and criticism is welcome Cheers Baz I've posted two photos taken in different light. The one on the right is closer to the natural colour Overall length is about 80mm (Just over 3 inches) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuri Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Just for the record, deer bone is considerably more brittle than cattle. Also more sensitive to moisture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
