i got a spinosaurus tooth which i often wear on my neck, but it is very brittle and breaks easily.

So once more it was broken, and i fixed it with stone age technology and gave it a new look.

I used some untanned leather (think dogsnack ;) )

So any of you done something similar?
 
OK please take that boot lace off and buy a dollars worth of jut of hemp, or better yet lay your own Cord, and make a primitive string.
Seriously you have a neat treasure, and a creative fix for it, but it really detracts using that modern string on it.
There are several sights on the web that have tutorials on cordage making, just look up primitive technology.
 
Braiding just some normal jute makes a fairly 'primitive' looking but strong cordage. I keep a lot braided in my pack just in case I need a little more strength.
 
I got my daughter a spinosaurus tooth but it stays in the display case in the living room along with all the other curios.

Those dog chew toy/bones are rawhide and it's a cheap way to get a small quantity w/o having to buy a side. An overnight soak in water and they come apart real easy and then can be flattened out to dry.
 
i think its more interesting to wear that kind of stuff, dunno how old yer daughter is but it makes great pub conversation too :D

yep, thats what i did, went to the pet shop, got me a chewie, let it soak in water for a night or so, cut it to shreds and used those to make the hanger

and when they dry, they get all hard and though again

its like that tooth got armor now, if it wasnt broken or if it wasnt a fossil, i'd wrap it differently so u could actually see more of the tooth itself.
 
She is only eight and is an expert at either losing or breaking things. I have made few very nice rings and necklaces for her and every one is lost. So the rare fossils and other cool things are hands off except when she takes them to school for show and tell.

We have a miniture museum of natural history in our living room. It all started with my meteorite collection and then got really crazy. They certainly are conversation pieces and much more interesting then house plants and stink candles.
 
expert at losing or breaking things, lol, sounds kinda like me, but i think i lose more than i break

ah very interesting, i want more of these kind of curiosities and a meteorite is something i've been wanting for a long time but havent gotten to get one yet
