GrassHoppa scored one. The middle is really porous, but the outside looks cool. My question has anyone ever have tried having some of it professionally stabilized????
 
Got any pix George? I'd call K&G and maybe send it for stabilizing. Man, that sounds cool!!!
 
George,Have Mike at WSSI do it for you.It looks great when stabilized.Is the piece you got fossil or modern?FYI,if you can"t prove that it is pre-ban (or fossil) it is illegal to sell the knife.

Yup, I was just about to say, if you can't prove it, you can't use it.

It will stabilise like oosik, though.

I am going to check with the dude that I get the Whale's Teeth from, to see if he can help me with the legality of it.
 
Most likly its a seacow rib bone that was on sterroids. I can understand the teeth thing but the bone seems to be taking it abit to far. Hope you don't have a whale turds but I would think they would at least come with paper...

Ray: Can you imagine the size of that suck?????? I bet Mace would want a piece of it if I had it to put on that knife for Mark. :eek: HEHEHE!!!
Yep!!! I think you are right. It is a Bigass Seacow Rib. It has some shades of blueish grays in it.
 
George, I bet that bone looks really good. Is it acient bone? Like yours and my bones? What kind of a blade are you going to put it on, George?

I am going to send 2 1/2# of it out to Mike @ WSSI. I spoke to him today. It looks like I'll have to cut it into slabs onces I get it back. I have been wanting to do a coffin handle Bowie for a long time now. :confused: :confused:

George, Geno got ahold of some Stellar sea cow that was given to him from a customer who wanted a knife made out of it, it was ancient. Alot of super glue went into the pourous handle material and it worked out fine. It's been donated to the SC State Museum.
 
mmmmmmmm........Whale bone, skunk, kale soup........ :D :D :D
IG, if you do get a nice pile of whale sh*t maybe I could use some of it for Mark's knife....it would be more exotic! :cool:

Sounds cool....would like to see it.

Last weekend I saw a piece of mammoth bone WSSI had stabilized, and it was awesome. He said when he got it, the bone was all chalky and flakey but after it was treated it's beautiful stuff. I'm looking forward to your coffin handled bowie!
