Is there a simpler way to deal with bone ash? I use a mortar a pestal and
then throw the tough old chunks back into the pail. Gradually I am getting a
pail of 'rocks'. I enjoy the mortar and pestal when I feel I have the time
but often demands are pressing or seemingly so and I begin to wonder if I
couldn't just put the whole bucket of bone ash into the blender sometime- do
it up ahead of time and have a ready source of fine ground material that
would then be ready to pass quickly through the screens. Has anyone tried
the kitchen blender for the processing of bone ash? Thanks - I'm ready for
a change here.

What sort of bone ash are you using? I get mine from my ceramic supplier
and it is as finely ground as any ceramic material. I add it to the recipe
when called for, mix it with water and sieve it without any problem. Mia in

I keep a blender especially for Bone Ash when its lumpy. I also place the
bone ash into boiling water for blending, then add to the rest of the bucket
of glaze.

Yes, I use an old kitchen blender to deal with the bone ash from a pet
crematorium.
Then pass it through a 100 and a 160 lawn, dry with mask ON.
That gives me some coarse for the garden and two grades for the pottery.

Dear Mia,
yes, I get my bone ash too from the ceramic supplier. It gets kind of
chunky in the pail and forms little balls of bone. Maybe it would dissolve
fine enough with water? but I always thought I had to chop and sieve it
first. Maybe I could eliminate that part of the task but I have always
sieved it because it doesn't seem to be fine like other ceramic materials.
