Bone carving was a special skill as it was all about precision. It was not something anyone could do.
The type of material, shape, and size of the object depended on what kind of bone was used. The bone also had to be cleaned and boiled in order to be used.
The tools used were axes and drawknives to strip off the bark from tusks and antlers. Saws were used to cut through bones, antles, horns, and tusks.
