{"product_id":"ea1-stabilized-elk-antler","title":"EA1 - Stabilized Elk Antler","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis elk antler was harvested in Arizona in 2019. It was then dried and stabilized with SOS 3.0 stabilizing resin under cycles of vacuum and pressure. The end result is a stable antler that takes a great polish. The antler was not polished prior to stabilization, so the natural, weathered appearance of the antler remains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen cutting, I tried to cut away as much of the pith as I could whilst preserving the hard, outer, cortical layer. Some pith remains, when you use these the pith is hard and stable, taking the stabilizing resin well,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eso it is very hard, but it is not solid. When using these as handle material, you can either remove the pith with a carbid burr (or other method), fill the pith with thin CA or resin, or leave the pith. With a thick outer cortical layer, allowing the pith to remain will not affect the structural integrity of the antler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Cortical Thickness\" is describing the thickness of the outer layer of the antler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Dimensions: 5.875\"x2.375\"-2.1\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCortical Thickness: 0.266\"-0.316\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight in ounces: 10.1\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RockSolid Scales","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32437430583343,"sku":"EA1","price":45.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/7345\/8991\/products\/ea1-stabilized-elk-antler-233060.jpg?v=1668862011","url":"https:\/\/getgriptec.com\/products\/ea1-stabilized-elk-antler","provider":"Grip-Tec™ Composites","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
