I thought whale oil was what you get when you boil the fatty tissue of the whale. Why would the skeleton have any oil in it?

I'm sorry whoever I offended enough to downvote this. I didn't realize whale skeletons were a touchy subject. I'm not an American so I don't know.

Get the leg bone of a calf (preferably split) medium oven for 20mins.

Some nice toast, chopped capers and parsley to help you clean up the oil. You’re welcome.

I’m confident that for every grumpy down voter that thinks they’re on Reddit, there a few others that will upvote an honest question that is getting downvoted to counteract. So Ms. Grumpy Redditor had the opposite of the desired effect.
