Mammoth tooth pen

Not sure it is visible:

From what I can tell in the picture, the pen looks awesome. What was your source for the mammoth tooth?

 

[VotTak]

Not sure if could be called "source" as it was occasionally bought from person who occasionally got it from somewhere or found it himself, I did not go into the story. That was "raw" tooth and I stabilized it myself.
Now, as I feel that I can work with that material, I will be looking for source.

Is that's its natural color? That's pretty wild, it looks almost raw or fleshy with that pink/red tone in it.

I added dye when I was stabilizing it.
Besides it my first attempt to make a pen from that material, so I decided to use not solid blank, but rather casted couple tooth fragments blank. So, that I was trying to stay in the same color schema

I look really nice! My question though..... How do you know it is really mammoth tooth, and not some other material anyways?

Got 4 mammoth teeth. Those are all different in shape and color. When you cut it, it has that specific smell of bone. And that feeling when you are cutting/drilling through hard dentin and softer fossilized tissues is very distinctive.

Ahhh, yes, one more thing. I've gotta say that "No mammoth was harmed in the making of this pen"
