Anybody Know

Anyone know what kind of bone this is. We were guessing the ham was missing.
I think this is going to be part of my new cane. Ineeded something heavy and strong to absorb recoil.

looks like tyrannosaurus Rex to me!!!! ;-}

I think it is a femur bone probably from a bovine, (cow or bull), or Tyrannusaurus Rex as Normded said. Mastadons were also common in your area when I was a kid. Just looking at the picture makes me "bone tired."

[fredfret]

it' a lower leg bone. Ham is from the upper leg.

Moose bone ?

May be moose, definitely not mouse!

i have quite a few that look just like that and they all came from a cow, femur

Hey Rob - I'd guess at a femur of a cow.
Spot any three legged moocows around your place?

As to needing something to absorb the recoil. You could try steeping the bone in vinegar for a few days. With a bit of luck this will dissolve out all the calcium and leave you with a rubbery bone! I kid not, it works with chicken legs - LOL!

Nope don't need a soft one. The cane I'm building will have a few handy "items" built in for the entertainment people that think they've found a soft target. I don't even have to fake my limp to get their attention anymore. Ahhhh life is pickin' up. I love idiots.

Lord help you Oily, how big of a cane are you making anyway??? I'd hate to carry a cane with that & all the assesories you mentioned. WOW ! I'd forget the cane idea, HA
