Buying Bone for wedges

[Gasman]

I'm going to try and pick up some today. I got two choices. Pet Store or Butcher Shop.

In your opinion, Why would I choose one place over the other?
The wife says the Butcher shop would have fresh and pet store would have dried. If I'm going to scrape off anything on them and boil them to be sure they are clean, then dry them out a bit before I try to cut them, then would it matter if they were fresh or dry?

Comments, Suggestions, theories? Or just lie to me.
I just thought others might like to know a bit about this along with myself. I plan on using power saws to cut them up and see what I come up with. Maybe get a couple big enough pieces for a scale set too. Who knows.
So what say you?

Why not grab some bones along the road, sometimes you can find some that are sun bleached. Grab a couple tire weights while your lookin around, should be a few of both.

Not much of that in the big city Mike. Bones that is. BTW, i did get some lead! But thats another story.

I've always got my bones from the butcher shop. They are usually covered with meat or other tissue and require some extra work to clean. You might be able to ask for a nice thick bone at a shop or maybe have a better selection.

I wonder if some bone scale blanks would not be good to begin with?

Jerry, I've purchased lots of stuff off this seller over the years, he sells bone blanks.

Yeah, camel or giraffe bone looks really nice.

I may have a few stag discs you could use. If you're interested I'll see what is in my boxes of stuff I'm going to use one of these years.
