Sharks Teeth - but are they?
James Monaco
Great White Faux-tooth, Upper (hand-carved from repurposed beef bone)
I’ve been playing around with carving teeth. Like most of you, I oppose killing live sharks, but have always admired sharks’ teeth. The variety is astonishing. Over the years I have resisted buying teeth that clearly came from a modern shark. I love them. Buying them is morally wrong, so what to do?
“I oppose killing sharks. But I love their teeth and so came up with a solution. I carved faux-shark teeth from repurposed beef bone. Now you can enjoy them guilt-free!”
Great White Faux-tooth, Lower (hand-carved from repurposed beef bone)
I’ve carved a few different varieties. These are all hand carved by me from repurposed beef bone. I’ve even added a few holes where the blood supply to the tooth might have been. I used fossilized teeth as my model and reference point.

I hope you enjoy them!
