Witch's Jawbone
Fox Henderson returns to our pages with this curious artifact from the vaults of Bureau 51- a witch's jawbone. Both the relic and its display case are outstanding.
That’s an interesting prop all right. I like his build log as well. It’s always good when a prop builder shares ideas and techniques. I wasn’t aware of the practice on witches, although there was some discussion here on Propnomicon about using iron on vampires previously: http://propnomicon.blogspot.com/2014/05/high-stakes.html
In a prop like this, using the right period nails is a good thing: http://www.uvm.edu/histpres/203/nails.html and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nail_%28fastener%29
