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 5 x 1 7/8 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 NATURAL and process the order as such.
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.
I have added three photos showing the Scrimshaw of James Marshall. The tooth shown is a copy of one of the ones he generously loaned me to clone.
These photos are intended to show what can be scrimshawed onto the poly and are not part of the purchase.
