Hey Cody ... does that pen come with a disclaimer that reads, "No animals were harmed in the making of this pen". ?

Well, er, hmmm, er ....well there may be a few prehistoric sharks swimming around with sore jaws. Just a little payback for all of the shark attacks this summer.

Seriously? I don't see how you'ld fit a Megaladon tooth on a 5-inch long pencil .... and turning one from a tooth just wouldn't work without some serious stabilization efforts (they're hollow)....

Seriously. These are fossilized shark's teeth that possibly date back millions of years. Quite hard no stabilization needed and not hollow. I agree it may a little hard to get a megaladon tooth on a pen.

That chuby is a big one.

 

[Skie_M]

Congratulations Michael.

That is awesome! $25 to spend at Exotic Blanks would be most helpful. :biggrin:
