The original tooth was harvested long before the ban on whaling and no living whale was harmed in the cloning of this tooth.
The dimensions of the tooth are 4 x 2 1/4 x 1 1/2". It is not hollow, it is solid polyurethane.
The tooth you are bidding on does NOT exist at the time of the listing. In keeping with eBay policy of allowing CUSTOM MADE items to offer a choice of color, the tooth will be created after purchase and receipt of payment in your choice of either a Natural Ivory or an Aged Ivory color. PLEASE NOTE: The photos in this listing were color enhanced to help show the details. True Aged Ivory is a "Butter" color, Natural is a "Cream" color. Please email me with your choice or I will assume you are happy with the default color of Aged and process the order as such.
When I create the tooth, I will use a mold release consisting of Baby Powder. This will allow you to Tint the tooth to your own taste.
This Poly will engrave and Scrimshaw very nicely. Just sand it smooth, seal the pores with a good quality wax and use sharp tools.
BECAUSE THIS IS A CUSTOM MADE ITEM, THE PROCESSING AND SHIPPING TIME WILL AVERAGE TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS FROM RECEIPT OF PAYMENT.
The third and fourth photo in the series shows an example of the Scrimshaw of James Marshall using a copy of this tooth.
