HOW TO CLEAN BONES AND ASSEMBLE ANIMAL SKELETONS
For those of you who are new to this location, this site is all about the preparation and articulation of animal skeletons - OR - turning a dead animal into a clean set of bones and assembling those bones into a complete skeleton.
-
It is also an introduction to myself, a forty-year veteran of professional skeleton building.
-
It is also a blatant advertisement for a series of ten Bone Building Books I've written.
-
These books are a series of manuals explaining how to clean, prepare, and articulate different animal skeletons in a simple step-by-step manner
-
Each manual is suitable for enthusiasts, teachers and/or students desiring to do a museum quality skeleton on a limited budget.
Step by Step Guides for the Preparation and Articulation of Animal Skeletons
By Lee Post (a.k.a. Boneman)
For the last 25 Alaska Winters I have been illustrating animal bones from different views. Some of these illustrations have made their way into the Bone Building Books. It has been apparent that some bone enthusiasts have been collecting these manuals just for the illustrations and not because they had any intent of building a skeleton. So, for those who just want it for the pictures (sorry, no centerfold) - for the first time - here is a collection of just the bone illustrations. These are arranged by species of different land mammals from the Northwestern United States.
OK companion bone-builders--here it is!
THE SMALL MAMMAL MANUAL MANUSCRIPT (say that five times fast)
is now out in its 20th anniversary Edition
Its a good news - bad news - good news thing--The good news is it has been enlarged again. Now includes Porcupine and the Armadillo skeletal details.
The bad news is those 23 extra pages caused extra printing costs and the need for a bigger spiral binding, so the cost of the manual jumped up and is now $50 instead of $44. (sorry - inflation ya know)
The good news is the E-book (PDF) version is still available at $39.
HAPPY BONEBUILDING and thanks to every one of you that has encouraged me to keep going by your interest, comments, suggestions, questions, and enthusiasm.
