ROTFL! Nice to see you found new uses for other items too. Although I dread to think what a surgeon would do with the nutcrackers!

I'm figuring that Elrond would have a full surgical kit . . . surely there was the odd elf who didn't duck fast enough when an orc took a swing? ;)

I hadn't considered using an ordinary saw as a bone saw but it would work. The trephine sounds interesting and if you'd be willing to make me one I'd definately be interested. Let me know how much it would be. Email me via lj.
