Cuttlefish bone casting is one of the oldest and most accessible metalcasting methods available to jewelers and metalsmiths. Each piece of natural cuttlefish bone features a soft, chalky interior that accepts direct impressions from small models, creating smooth-walled mold cavities without the need for complex equipment. Simply press your model between two pieces of cuttlefish bone, then use a sharp knife to cut in the sprue, gates, and vents. Bind the two halves securely with binding wire, pour your molten metal, and release a simple, small casting. This low-tech approach is ideal for one-off pieces, prototypes, or teaching foundational casting techniques.Features Natural cuttlefish bone with a soft interior that takes clean, smooth-walled impressions Model is pressed directly into the bone — no separate mold-making materials required Sprue, gates, and vents are easily cut with a sharp knife Two halves are secured with binding wire before pouring Suitable for simple, small castings An ancient, proven low-tech casting method for jewelers and metalsmiths Specifications Contents per Box 6 pieces Material Natural cuttlefish bone Primary Use Small metal casting molds What's Included6 pieces of natural cuttlefish bone per box
