When we were in NZ years ago, we came across an artists community where they did a lot of work with bones. This place was on the coast, and I think they had traditionally used whales tusks, but now they just used bones from cows or pigs. We picked up a really cool necklace for my wife. We watched one artist for a while. They used flexible shaft rotary tools with burr bits in them. Created a fair amoint of dust and noise, but was quite effective.
