{"product_id":"ea6-stabilized-elk-antler","title":"EA6 - 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 \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Dimensions: 6.625\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter 1: 1.5\"x1.2\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter 2: 1.75\"x1.6\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCortical Thickness: 0.17\"-0.25\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight in ounces: 9.2\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RockSolid Scales","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32437442445359,"sku":"EA6","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/7345\/8991\/products\/ea6-stabilized-elk-antler-390812.jpg?v=1668862037","url":"https:\/\/getgriptec.com\/products\/ea6-stabilized-elk-antler","provider":"Grip-Tec™ Composites","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
