Upper and lower jaws of a huge North American Grey wolf(canis lupus) are cast in durable urethane resin. Jaw measurements: width = 3 3/8" = 8.5cm (as measured across the rear molar teeth at the widest point), length = 5 5/8" = 14 1/4cm (as measured from the incisors to the last molar tooth). Only the upper jaw (palate) measurements are given. The mold was taken directly from a real skull, and is detailed down to the pores and texture of the bone. It also includes a portion of the jaw bone. Please note - the cast has been filled with yellow urethane foam for added stability; this can easily be trimmed and shaped as desired. It also readily accepts hot glue. These casts are also paintable - however you will need to lightly scuff the surface with a steel wool or scouring pad in order to get good paint adhesion. I got good results with scuffing, wiping with denatured alcohol and then priming with the spray can automotive-type primer available in stores. Then it can be painted with virtually any type of paint. Also - this is again a cast from a different animal, if you have purchased wolf jaws from me in the recent past. The only size difference is that this is about a 1/4" longer (same
width). The skull these jaws were molded from is about 11 3/4 (28.5cm) long. Otherwise there is little difference.
I gladly welcome questions; feel free to ask before you buy.
