They are already cleaned and sterilized, so no processing involved. I select ones with the thickest walls, and they are about 7&quot; long - a good length. I cut them lengthwise on a bandsaw, and can usually get 2 or 3 rough blanks out of a single bone. Then shape on a grinding wheel, followed by refining with wet-dry sandpaper, and a final polishing on a buffing wheel.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some of my baskets.
