well I got a beef bone from a pet stall on the market. It had some disgusting smelling gunk inside which I scooped out and it then took several days of soaking in different things to get rid of it : -/ so I'd recommend going to a butcher and getting a marrow bone if you can.

  Anyway just saw a bit off to the length you want (I used a hacksaw) Luckily my bit was exactly the right size inside for my finger, so apart from filing away a couple of sharp bits I didn't have to do any more on the inside : -)

   Then I just filed it to shape (I warn you bone dust smells pretty bad so a mask is a good idea!) Then I used gradually finer files, then sandpaper, going finer and finer. I then I polished it several times...you can use various things but I used some guitar polish that I had lying around...and that's it!! LOTS of work, but I use this slide a lot so it was worth it.

If you don't have the time to make one check out Randy Bretz's slides https://www.cbgitty.com/cubecart/mojobone-slides/cat_13.html  if you want to ask him about them here's his hand made clubhouse page http://handmademusic.ning.com/profile/RandySBretz ...also he knows a LOT more about making them than I do, lol!!

Hi Wally, is that You from YouTube??...or are you coincidentally the second person today to tell me about the wonderful Holsteins,lol!

Holsteins make the best captured audience. They love music and have a great sense of humor.
Hey..., I'm just sayin'. ;-) - Wally

thanks Warren, yeah part of the smell was just from the bone, but the worst smell was from the gunk the pet shop people had put inside it...god know what it was!!! No, no cows,lol
