Elk teeth

[gmww]

The teeth I saved from my elk years ago was bleached too much. I tried to add a little color back by soaking it in tea. That had some effect but I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions in how to make it look better. I'd eventually like to have them made into jewelry. I'll post photos soon of how they look.

Tea or coffee is what I usually use for staining ivory's from sika, elk, red deer, and boar tusks.
Or any kind of bone, seems to work well and holds the color good.

The one on the left was soaked in tea. I think I'll try some coffee for the one on the right.
