Mammoth tusk disk is a unique and captivating fossil material prized by artisans, makers, and collectors for its natural beauty and prehistoric origin. These disks are cut from genuine woolly mammoth tusks that have been preserved for thousands of years, revealing stunning organic grain patterns, warm natural tones, and distinctive growth lines. Because raw tusk material can be porous and unstable, each mammoth tusk disk undergoes a professional stabilization process involving vacuum resin impregnation. This enhances strength, reduces moisture absorption, and improves workability, making it suitable for a range of creative and functional applications.
