Piece does look real good. My preference is always to cut across the cellular structure rather than lengthwise along the bone. I just think that makes a prettier pattern and often shows the fine details in the structure of the cell replacement better....Mel

Thanks, going to glue it to a board and cut cross ways like you guys suggested.

Nice bone! Colors are great. Yeah, what Mel said. Crossways to the grain, just like with pet wood.
And just how did you acquire it, if you don't mind my asking?

Got it on a trade for a Laker. Will weigh it up and might sell it.
