    I work with bone a lot in guitar repair. A belt sander using an 80 grit belt is an option for quickly removing and shaping bone. Like others have stated you can scorch bone be careful. It can really stink when worked on a belt sander too just so you know.

    All good advice already
    I find horn easier to work with that wood, I think it is the fineness of the grain/fibres
