The buckle I made is inspired by this one.
But it lacks the ornaments on Rolands example. Since I still have to learn how to do that.
Here Is the buckle just after the initial sawing.
And here it is after most of the filing has been done.
I am really starting to enjoy working with bone. So I am definately going to make some more bone stuff in the future.
Very well done.
ReplyDeleteAs always, superb work, master.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of bone did you use? I didn't know that pig bones could be so nicely polished
Ribeting the rod for the pin in that buckle had to be really tricky, how did you manage to do that? I would have broken half buckle with the hammer.

ReplyDeleteI used pig bones... or at least I think they are trom a pig. The size seems right for the size of a pig.
The riveting was really fiddely! I did one end of the rod in a wice. Then I put it through the hole I drilled in the buckle and riveted the other side. It took quite a long time. I think the rod bent a little in the hole and kind of wedged it self into place.
very nice, makes me want some bone stuff!
