Real Life Bonecrafter of Dwarfy Proportions...
« on: August 15, 2011, 10:25:52 pm »

Something I just found, and had to share here: The Furry Seat Of Presidents, a grizzly bone chair, created by Seth Kinman The Nimrod of Coasts

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

For added fun, the head of the grizzly comes out foot-rest-like, snapping its jaws when you pull a cord. As a second bonus, sitting in the chair in that picture is a Mule skull fiddle, made from his favourite mule, and strung with the tail hair of said mule. He gave the chair to US President Johnson.

The New York Times wrote about this dude in 1885 (link here)

Anyone else know of crazy real-life bonecraftin'? (I'm a little worried I'll hear about fell moods, but possibly also morbidly curious)

Toady typically doesn't do things by half measures.  As evidenced by turning "make hauling work better" into "implement mine carts with physics".
There are many issues with this statement.

Although the bones in my submission to this thread likely have only minimal crafting done to them, I still consider the Sedlec Ossuary perhaps the grandest, and most macabre, piece of bone art.
