Thick bone material? Cowbone

[Robert Hankins]

Decided yesterday to try using Cow bone for handle material.
Bought a couple large bleached bones from the local petfood store and started sawing away. By the time I had gotten them flat enough to use even in the thickest parts wound up around 3/16" thick.

Any other source of bone out there besides Giraffe that is thicker?

check with calvin over on Primal Fires, he has worked with different types of bone, cow, emu, inside of cow horn, etc i beleive he would be a good one to ask.

If you know of a butcher shop or a moble slaughter person they'd gladly give you the bones your after. The heavest bones on a cow are the shin bones just above the toes....
Thats if your wanting to process it yourself.....

What Ray said. Use FRESH shin bone. If you want a recipe to dye it, shoot me an email.
