Using Deer Jawbone

To remove the kernels of green corn from the cob of Lenape white flour corn in the green stage, I am using the jawbone of a deer which is a natural tool.  Not only does it remove the kernels but the irregularities of the teeth burst the kernels full of milky liquid so that a wood mortar and pestle is not needed to prepare the corn for the leaf green corn bread.
