The easy way to make beads for the deck lines on a Greenland Kayak. A drill with a slightly tapered dowel and an angle grinder with a 36 grit sanding wheel. I’m using high density polyethylene here but this also works well with ivory, it just smells a lot worse.
I generally don’t make toggles or beads out of bone because they deteriorate quickly, which is why it was seldom used on actual traditional kayaks.
