Great looking pieces Steve. Do you know of anyone who has found a complete Bracelet?
 

Nice always good to see something different.
 

great looking display larson;
amazed by the amount of bone you find.i never see it round here.was wondering if they would work it fresh or cure it somehow?also can not belive the amount of your finds,non stop for years,thank you.wonder how many books are out there on worked animal bones,belive you could publish one'''

I like seeing the bone as we do not find much unless it is crushed and cooked. Nice display.
 

hey hey thanks to all my friends, OK reap
now the two of them, one on the right and one on the bottom are complete, only we found them broke and i glued them together.....now...


Hint...........if you ever figure out how to cement one of them that were broke in half and dry the glue you can certainly....
.......hand them to your friend (two pieces glued together) also
just remember when you hand the piece to them you tell them..................
please don't hold both ends 'at once' to look at it.....or it might become an "unintentional wishbone"....very delicate know what i mean?

steve my friend john had several
they need to be put tobether
the 3 that you see in my frame are typical
they are almost always broke
i figured out how to put them together
it isn't that tough i put a drop of elmers on a little piece of paper
then when i am sure know exactly how i want to support the piece while assembling......
........i take a pin and apply ever so small amounts and assemble
tite bond has a product with a faster drying time and is like elmers and costs about a buck or two more
they sure are strong after about 20 minutes................like i said the one one the right and the one on the bottom are complete
the one on the left has about a half inch missing on the top side
i have never seen one from this area that was a closed circle
i messed up a bit on the bottom one ....can you see? the break is roughly in the center
probably due to being a rookie at this
i did that one last since it was so small and thin
i am sure those restoration guys could do better

maybe i can find some more gotta look
