I saw a video on how they prepare a deer antler to make pen blanks. I would think that one can do the same with a bone. But then there is the marrow to deal with. I wish I could help but I don't have an answer, maybe you can find a you tube video on preparing a bone for turning.. Good luck Fay

Bone is not especially thick -- so you need to find bone with the marrow hole about the right size -- or get a really thick real Femur -- to find thickess of bone to make a blank.
May be easier to use it as a segmented inlay -
Turns pretty easily - with dust.
It does have grain -- and holes where nerves and blood vessel go into the bone.

How fresh? You might want to soak in peroxide if there is still any tissue or marrow in it.
