different sizes and colors
Mammoth tooth block (small size) is a unique fossil material offering natural beauty, prehistoric character, and reliable performance for custom knife makers, woodworkers, and artisans. These blocks are cut from genuine woolly mammoth tooth, which has been preserved over thousands of years, resulting in distinct textures and intricate natural patterns. Because raw tooth material can be porous and fragile, each mammoth tooth block (small size) undergoes professional stabilization using a vacuum resin impregnation process. This treatment fills voids, reinforces the structure, and enhances moisture resistance, making the material stronger, easier to machine, and more consistent during shaping and finishing.
Key features and applications:
- Authentic woolly mammoth tooth material with rich fossil character
- Stabilized using vacuum and resin for improved strength, durability, and machining
- Small size blocks perfect for compact handles, grips, and artistic projects
- Excellent for knife handle blocks on fixed and folding knives
- Ideal for scrimshaw, engraving, carving, and decorative embellishments
- Polishes to a beautiful finish with high contrast and depth
- Enhanced workability and reduced risk of cracking compared to untreated material
Mammoth tooth block (small size) combines ancient origin with modern craftsmanship potential, making it an exceptional choice for custom creations where both performance and aesthetic value are essential. These blocks bring prehistoric allure and reliable stability to every project.
Frequently Asked Questions about Small Mammoth Tooth Blocks
What is considered a small mammoth tooth block?
A small mammoth tooth block is a compact blank cut from fossilized mammoth molars, intended for smaller projects. These blocks are typically used for spacers, small knife handles, pen blanks, jewelry components, and detailed carving work where a full-size block is not required.
What projects are small mammoth tooth blocks best suited for?
Small mammoth tooth blocks are ideal for knife handle spacers, hidden tang knife accents, pen and pencil blanks, beads, inlays, jewelry, and fine scrimshaw. They are especially popular for projects that require precise detail and controlled material usage.
Are small mammoth tooth blocks stabilized?
Yes, small mammoth tooth blocks are fully stabilized using vacuum polymer impregnation and resin filling. Stabilization is especially important for smaller pieces, as it improves strength, prevents micro-cracks, and ensures clean machining and polishing.
Do small mammoth tooth blocks have the same patterns as large ones?
Yes, small mammoth tooth blocks retain the same natural enamel and dentin structure found in larger pieces. Each block displays unique layered patterns and color contrasts, making even small projects visually striking and one of a kind.
Can I request specific sizes or multiple small blocks?
Yes, we can prepare small mammoth tooth blocks in specific dimensions or supply multiple pieces for batch projects. If you need matching color tones or wholesale quantities, please contact us to discuss your requirements.
