Bone: Understanding the Material, it's Uses and History with David Constantine

  #037. -- In the craft world of the modern age, bone seems to be a rather neglected raw material that is rarely used for much of anything. But that was not always so, and fortunately Dave was willing to come on the podcast and share a little bit of his experience and insight on the craft of working with bones and antlers.Dave is a re-enactor of the early medieval period and a bone crafter who specializes in replicating artifacts of that time period. We chat about the history, archaeology, artifacts, methodology, and manufacture of bone implements. Overall, I found this to be a very fascinating and informative conversation, hopefully you enjoy it as much as I did!I also hope we can change our perspective on how bone was used historically, and garner some ideas on what we can make with it now!Links resources mentioned in this episode can be found over at:folkcraftrevival.com/37
