Thumbing through the latest issue of Pen World this evening... they had a Mammoth tooth pen in there. Someone posted a mammoth tooth pen a week or two ago and that was the first I ever saw one. Very neat look, but I'm curious as to what the striations are from...

Nicely done. I like the bands of colors the tooth gives. Very unusual. Your work is excellent.

I suppose, it was my pen.
Mammoth tooth
Striations - is a mammoth tooth structure.
Look this pic:
Mammoth tooth consists of the separate dentine slices covered with enamel (white straps). The slices are fastened with each other by interlayers of cement

First time I used bi-metall blades for hand metal-working saw. It takes two full days and about ten blades.
For this pen I used tile saw with a water-cooled diamond blade... And it is not easy too, because tooth have irregular shape and much bigger than disc cutting height.

Very nice indeed. I like your selection of hardware much better on this one. It is more in line with the blank itself. Great Job..
Great pen! Thats a unique material, definitely not your everyday blank.

It smells like in a dentist cabinet, probably? First time I was working on sperm whale tooth I've had my knees shaken - all bad memories from being a child visiting dentists came...
But I bet your mother-in-law would forget about the smell when she sees a money you've got for that pen!

Yes, It smells like in dentist cabinet, but smell is much stronger and more disgustuing.
When I make my first pen from mammoth ivory, i had nightmares abouth mammothes.
