Stacy , pics are to big to see the whole tooth , can you shrink them down some ?

I took them as close-up shots to show the details. They show up in full on my computer screen.
I made them smaller for you. Let me know if that was better.
I have to set my little photo booth back up and take photos with the good camera, not the cell phone. Photos of Three-D objects, especially scrimshaw, does not show the effect like it looks in person. If I get new photos done soon I'll change them out.
