Grutrosti, a Field Guide to Carving Bone and Antler

Field notes

The guide follows the material from raw preparation through finished care rather than treating carving as a single technique. It separates bone and antler from keratin-based horn, notes that pressed horn reveals parallel strata at the edge, and gives a concrete preparation range of roughly 70–80 °C for gentle cooking. The visible sections also address calado, relief, line engraving, progressive sanding, polishing, and respiratory protection against workshop dust.
