mammoth tooth block
Stabilized (impregnated with vacuum-pressure cycles with a composition for stabilization Cactus Juice and after cast with alumilite resin) mammoth tooth block and scales.
Knifehandl block size. Different colors.
Stabilized blocks of woolly mammoth teeth are a rare and distinctive fossil material that brings ancient character and exceptional craftsmanship potential to custom projects. These blocks are cut from genuine woolly mammoth tooth material, preserved for thousands of years, with striking natural patterns, warm tones, and unique textures formed through geological time. Because raw mammoth tooth can be porous and fragile, each piece undergoes a professional stabilization process involving vacuum polymer impregnation and resin filling. This process reinforces the internal structure, improves moisture resistance, and creates a stable, durable material that is easier to machine, shape, and finish.
Key features and applications:
- Authentic fossil material with rich natural character
- Stabilized with vacuum and resin for enhanced strength and reliability
- Blocks available in various sizes for custom handle blanks
- Ideal for fixed and folding knife handle projects
- Excellent for decorative carving, scrimshaw, and engraving
- Polishes to a beautiful finish with strong contrast and depth
- Enhanced workability and reduced risk of cracking under machining
Stabilized blocks of woolly mammoth teeth offer a unique combination of prehistoric origin and modern functionality, making them an exceptional choice for artisans, knife makers, and collectors. These blocks elevate custom creations with their natural beauty, reliable stability, and one-of-a-kind visual appeal, providing an inspiring material for projects that demand both aesthetics and performance.

What is a mammoth tooth block?
A mammoth tooth block is a solid blank cut from fossilized mammoth molars. Unlike tusk ivory, mammoth tooth consists of alternating layers of enamel and dentin, creating distinctive natural patterns. These blocks are used for knife handles, spacers, pen blanks, carving, and scrimshaw.
Are mammoth tooth blocks stabilized?
Yes, all mammoth tooth blocks sold by FossilUSA are professionally stabilized. The process includes vacuum polymer impregnation, heat curing, and epoxy resin filling of internal voids. This greatly improves strength, prevents cracking, and ensures long-term dimensional stability.
Are mammoth tooth blocks legal to buy and sell?
Yes, mammoth tooth blocks are legal to buy and sell in most countries because mammoths are an extinct species. All materials offered by FossilUSA are legally and responsibly sourced. Buyers should check local import regulations before ordering.
What can mammoth tooth blocks be used for?
Mammoth tooth blocks are commonly used for custom knife handles, spacers, pistol grips, pen and pencil blanks, jewelry components, decorative carvings, and scrimshaw art. The material machines well and polishes to a high-gloss finish.
Do you offer custom sizes or matched mammoth tooth blocks?
Yes, we offer custom mammoth tooth blocks in non-standard sizes, thicknesses, and color selections. We can also select pieces with specific patterns or make matched sets for larger projects. Wholesale quantities are available upon request.
