Okay, update for those with interest in this testing------------------
Talked with a medical school today. A professor expressed the following information would be "average" for a male where the radius and ulna diameters are concerned for this test.
3" from the wrist, the two bones are 5/8" and 1/2" in diameter. 1/2 way between the wrist and elbow, the dimensions are 1/2" for both.
Measuring my own arm, 3" from the wrist is 2 3/8" in diameter and midway from wrist to elbow is 3 1/4" diameter. These numbers give me a base for the dowel diameters and a base when I wrap the meat and shave it to the dimensions above, all tightly wrapped in 15-20 layers of cellophane.
I got another project that's come up and I'll be busy and away first week of Sept. for part of the time that's taking priority over this project/testing. I expect I should be ready to put this together and get the testing on video about the time the knife is here or arrives shortly before that from Panther and sheathing. So, we're looking at perhaps a month and the project is in the can.
Just an fyi for those waiting on the results.
