Anyone ever use the pet store variety chew toys for overlays?
Apex,
I have not used the "pet store" variety, but have used Wild Boar as well as Moose hoofs and both worked just fine.

They also leave a nice pig sty smell to your tips :) Seriously, all hooves stink when you cut them. Domestic pig hooves really stink.
Maybe it would be a good cover scent? :) It will be on my "Bloody Marsh" bow I am building, and be mainly for pig killin'.
Cant wait to see it Apex.
I have used them and they do stink when you work them.
Funny you ask about such a thing: The other evening I was out in the garage grinding down a deer hoof for an overlay. I shot the deer last fall. Anyway, I've found out that the two bone runs pretty much all the way. Not much left over for an overlay if I took the bone out.
I've got to rethink that material for the application.

I've got to rethink that material for the application. Used Osage and deer bone instead.
I searched a didn't find any last night. I guess I'm gonna have to kill a big one for the hooves! I used cow bone instead, and it looks great against the cedar.
