Got some good cutter teeth from a hog and want to make a necklace. How do you leather wrap them or cap them to do this? And any pics would be helpful.

Since they are hollow and subject the splitting, I would fill them with JB weld and drill a hole on the top to fit paracord.

Kids made these a few years ago. Left them hollow without problems. I would use the JB weld or even silicone or caulk or epoxy.

http://forthenrycustomknives.com/product/george-muller-boar-warthog-tusk-keychain-6/This guy uses colored epoxy to cap and embed things in tusks. If you hunt and peck around on the internet you'll find some colored epoxies or epoxy pigments that would be suitable for a cap. Jewelers epoxy or another fast setting epoxy would probably be perfect if you wanted to form a "cap" shape. I would also be very tempted to coat the finished teeth with a cyanoacrylate glue and buff to a high gloss.

Isn't cyanoacrylate glue just super glue?
Ok I know now to fill them with epoxy just can't make up my mind if I want to put some type of eyelet in the top or drill through them?

Isn't cyanoacrylate glue just super glue? Also known as CA glue, all the same. Ok I know now to fill them with epoxy just can't make up my mind if I want to put some type of eyelet in the top or drill through them? Go to Hobby Lobby and ask about jewelry findings. You will be amazed at the "stuff" that you can buy.
