Thanks for that Hughie. Now show it on a turned surface!

I have long kept in mind something by the British woodworking writer Charles Hayward to the effect that all the wonderful inlay work covered by the term ebenisterie was accomplished with little more than a knife, a saw, a pot of glue and a lump of hot iron.

Very cool, Hughie. I follow that account on Instagram. Very talented artisan! The variety of traditional techniques he showcases is staggering. And the videos well-made (I believe the videographer is the artisan’s grandfather?).

Its something that has always had my interest, something perhaps I have to work up to

😆 that’s part of the process. He’s burying bones so the organic material will be removed over time.

Seemed odd to me too but
if @hughie took the time to post it I thought I should let it play out a bit.

What is this supposed to mean? If a person posts a link to a video a little description can go a long way.

It means, if you have a little patience you may see something interesting. Or maybe not. I thought it was a pretty cool video on bone inlay, if slow to get going.

You are too young! The smiley faces indicate it’s a bit of a joke!

I agree, A more detailed description would be helpful.
The title - “old school Embellishing” is quite broad

What did you think after watching the whole video?

 

[Jim Grieco]

I wasn't offended - just needed clarification.
Now that I know the video is safe, it was a pleasure to watch. All hand tools - true craftmanship and beautiful!
Why did he bury the bones in mud and water?

That gets rid of the organic material. Bugs et al. feast on the soft tissues leaving only bone behind.

Thanks, I was wondering the same thing.

Very cool result!

How long? When my sister-in-law wanted the skull of a road killed otter,
We buried it for 8 or 9 months and it was fairly clean.

It depends on the local creepy crawly fauna. A place with fertile soil and a rich beetle population will clean a bone quickly. Commercial operations use Dermestid beetles and chambers (coolers, aquaria, etc...) and can clean bones in several days or weeks.
