Technical Specs

Unfinished 'Dem Bones Walnut Bones
Fun do-it-yourself project - just sand and rattle away!

My first pair of wooden bones were walnut. They produced a relatively warm tone and were heavy enough to provide the kinetic force I needed to make them click with ease. The wood is pleasing to the touch and the mellow sound is perfect under many situations. An excellent choice for both new and experienced players.

Walnut wood is warm and inviting. The color varies from light grayish brown to deep chocolate brown to an almost black purplish brown. The grain is slightly open and usually straight, but can also be wavy or irregular. The texture is somewhat coarse but uniform. The surface is generally dull, but it may develop a lustrous patina after years of use.

Fine woodworkers enjoy working this chocolate colored wood that emits a pleasingly distinctive aroma.

Just Half the Price of Finished Bones
These unfinished bones are manufactured by my friends Randy Seppala and Jim Lohmann at 'Dem Bones in Covington, Michigan. Their finished walnut bones sell for $18.00. So finish them yourself and save nine bucks.

Finishing Instructions

Sand with medium sandpaper (100 grit).
Sand with fine sandpaper (150 grit).
Sand with very-fine sandpaper (220 grit).

Your bones are now ready to play. If you want a durable protective finish, then follow additional steps below.

Rub with commercial woodworking oil or paste wax such as Minwax, carnauba wax, beeswax, shellac, butcherblock oil, or other vegetable-based wood preparation. Follow manufacturer's directions or ask your local woodworking store for advice.
If desired, buff for high gloss finish. Use soft rag or buffing wheel with tripoli polishing compound.
