Hi Sylvia,
Hello everyone.A friend is about to embark on a bit of experimental archaeology - to make a comb from a cattle scapula (fresh). They asked what method of preparation would be best.I am familiar with what would make a good reference specimen, but wonder if different treatments at an early stage will make it easier to work?Any ideas/suggestions?Many Thanks
