How to Choose a Bone to Make a Bone Handle

JASON HARRIS: Hi, I'm Jason with ExpertVillage.com. Today, we're going to replace this ugly drawer handle with a handmade piece of bone. It will make a lot cooler handle. I just took this one out. It just clips on. I just took this one out of the drawer and for the bone, I just found an antler--I find bones and antlers, anything I pick up when I'm out in the desert or whatever, I pick up and I just cut the ends off really quick with a skill saw. You can use a skill saw, a jigsaw, a handsaw or whatever. This is--this will cut just like wood. And that's a--I cut it to the approximate size I wanted. So, this is all up to you how much length--length you get, how much you cut off, how much you keep, whatever you want to do. You want to make sure that you've got a good piece of bone though and even though it's weathered like this is--that the--yeah. The cracks don't go clear through to the middle. They're just on the outside surface. It's a good piece to work with so--we know what material we're going to use and we know what we're replacing. So, next, I'll go through the tools and--we're going to use and kinda how to start.
