Can you decorate weapons with bone etc., with the limitation being only with gems?

[Acperience]

If the only option for the material you want to decorate with in the craftsdwarf workshop is "decorate craft" then I don't think you can decorate weapons with it, since weapons =/= crafts.

You might get lucky and have a dwarf produce a strange mood weapon decorated with non-gem materials.

You can also stud with metal.

A lot of my weapons are ringed with bone. I'm even wondering if the encrust with finished goods command includes weapons.

Don't dwarves pick weapon upgrades based on item price?

If this is the case, decorations could mess up your upgrade path if you decorate hell of no-quality copper axe, right?

"Encrust finished goods" at the jewelers doesn't include weapons (tested with burrows and custom stockpiles next to the jeweler's shop). I believe (but have not tested) that the craftsdwarf's "decorate with xxx" jobs includes weapons and armor - it definitely includes ammo, as I get a lot of horn-decorated bone bolts if I don't micromanage my craftsdwarves.

I have unholy piles of reclaimed goblinite yet my bone decorators cancel with 'no decoratable object'.  I took a quick look and while some is decorated already and some is melt-designated...if weapons were bone decoratable they should have done so but wont.

Then I guess any bone-decorated weapons you see were probably brought by merchants and invaders, and were decorated outside the fort (much like stone-decorated items in previous versions).

Edit: In my .25 fort I can indeed confirm that my crossbows and warhammers were taken to the craftsdwarf's workshop and decorated with bone (as in this fort I put my workshop one floor below the barracks).
