Cool beans. I dug up an arrowhead back in 91 when digging a water line to a house I was helping dad build after our old house had burned. I broke it in half with the mattock but luckily found the other half. I'm super gluing the piece together (drying right now) & next I'm getting some copper wire (from the house I grew up in that burned in 90) & plan on making it into a necklace.

can you do a video on how to make a hole in a canine tooth with out cracking it

[@Gunk0o]

The side tooth is called a Cusplet, and some to most sharks do not have them.

[@helenwilson8939]

I wish you had shown the technique to wrap the arrowhead. that was what I was looking for. s

[@matthewvitetta8278]

Is there a way to do it with teeth that do not have the two little teeth either side of one big one. And do you have to use the wire. Thanks :)

[@chellazomerfeld999]

Thank You.
Now I will break out my tools, and get this done.
Your the best as showing what and how 🤔 toooo..... 🤗

[@Potomacbeadco]

You’re welcome 😊

[@roadkill3881]

I am trying to figure out how much wire I need to wrap a tooth in this way. All the videos I find only show the actual wrapping process. Could you please help me with how to determine how much wire to remove from the spool?

[@Potomacbeadco]

You will need 12in or less depending on the size

[@helenwilson8939]

I wish you had shown the technique for wrapping the narrowness

Might you happen to know of a particular braided chord/rope method to secure a shark tooth?

[@Potomacbeadco]

Edward, you can make a braid of any thickness using a Kumihimo disk and cord of your choice.

[@kar220378]

is there a way to make them into earrings?

Yes you can simply attach the loops to an earwire like these:

[@Potomacbeadco]

[@Nataloff]

Hey, it works! Thank you!

[@OG-1990]

nice thank you :)

[@renaisanc9]

Love your work!... and the ease with which you teach it :-) Maybe the sharks' teeth were scavenged at the seashore? (I, myself, have never seen them but hope springs eternal that such a talented human is not a speciesiest.) ;-)

[@orlandofigueroa3567]

The example teeth are from Morocco in africa

[@turgutkagandemiroz9910]

How many mm is the wire

[@Potomacbeadco]

The wire is half round 18g. It is 1.024mm.

[@codytoads]

could this technique also work with human wisdom teeth?

[@shinyhunterpokemans3888]

+codytoads Are you serious?

[@codytoads]

Shiny Hunter pokemans yes that's why i asked

[@logan9679]

[@thesepticweevil]

[@emmarisby]

Aw so cool. I'm going to do this with one of my teeth ( removed for braces ) to give to my boyfriend.

[@Potomacbeadco]

Thank you for watching!

[@RedAtlasMoth]

Am I the only one wrapping *other* teeth

[@bennu547]

You hush up. I'm a girl and I's rather ware shark teeth over diamonds any day of the week

[@helenwilson8939]

I wish you had shown how to wrap the arrowhead!!! I'm so disappointed. That was what I was looking for. Please don't include something in the example if you aren't going to show how to do it.

[@Potomacbeadco]

It is pretty much the same technique, but if the top (base) of the arrow does not flare enough, just wrap the wire several times around it before finishing the loop.

[@mayrah.8065]

Hh

[@sharkeyhillary5349]

You don't wire morrocan teeth they break very easy use American shark teeth there stronger

[@sharkeyhillary5349]

I can also see you don't find your own teeth also

[@slammerjaxlive]

nice fake teeth
