See pics I wonder how this will standup to intonation and it is April 1st

Mother of Pearl works for me so I don't see why bone wouldnt work as saddles...
You can actually get the intonation spot on with minimal fuss, get it close as and then a swipe with a jewellers file to get it dead on :)

Cool the thing I was thinking about was the thread crumbling running through the saddles .

Good point, perhaps he strengthened the threads with thin CA glue?
Might add this to my ever expanding list of mad professor experiments :)

I'd love bone saddles! As DB always says (even though I haven't heard it in a while, ironic hey?) Bone for Tone!

I think I've seen I guy do something similar, but he had hardwood saddles with bone inserts where the strings rest.
