I probably have more lynx claws on hand then anyone in th world. I have been a trapper for 30 years and know most local trappers and fur dealers. This is a byproduct of the fur industry usually thrown away. I can offer discounts for volume thew huge ones are the size of mountain lion

wolf skulls right--$50 to $100 also have a few fangs--inquire
I also sell cast claws made from real claws --cast in silver copper brass or a mix . I have bear wolf lynx and eagle

Steller Sea Cow bone
. Sort of an exotic material. It is nice because the animal is extinct and this is a fossil material so legal in most places . It is solid- takes a nice polish and has nice color.
I have both walrus and mammoth ivory. Have less walrus as I am in the interior of Alaska and do not have great northern Eskimo connections. I find much of the mammoth ivory myself so being at the source means nice price. Some of the more exotic ivory needs I can help with as I have connections with big dealers even if I do not have it in stock. I have the most materials on hand for artists scrim people necklace makers etc. Knife makers (the blue scales they seem to all want) well usually when I get it is sold to my regular customers within hours. If you want a lot I can get it from Russia (only 50 miles from Alaska)
Alaska does not have a huge selection of rocks but we have jade gold agate garnets and a few things I don't know even what they are.
Left Nowitna River agate. Found only in Alaska this is a carenilan with mottled patterns (instead of the traditionally known concentric patterns of Brazilian agate) I can sell it in the rough or sliced and polished
left and below found about 100 pounds of mammoth ivory this past summer and am letting it slow dry .This is less then half of it at 30 pounds. Note the nice blue. If interested in the before it gets cut up let me know. (july most of it sold still have 5 pounds)

Above various hand made beads of ivory or antler
Left wolverine teeth claws from interior of Alaska
Right otter teeth and jaw I have other animal bones inquire
I also have plastic claws that look real. Heck no I'm mot happy about it --but it's becoming a plastic world and it sure beats 20 years in prison for selling a real one illegally. I hate to say it but most people these days are so far removed from the land they do not deserve a real one. (except you of coarse)
I have tines butt ends palms and sides for sale - cannot sell both sides together as a 'trophy' this is for art work
Flint kappers like this part shown above also good for pistol grips and carving
wolf claws limited supply (well I have lots, but some customers show up and buy me out regularly soneed to inquire $5, $10, $15
My book is a wilderness survival biography but also has a lot of 'how to' knowledge on tanning gathering identifying material how my art is done etc. It is a good book to compliment my art or to connect to the art and raw materials I sell. Anyone who likes the wilderness my art and the materials I use should enjoy this. After being raised middle class city and raise don Walt Disney I move to the Alaska wilderness to live my dream of being a mountain man I get dropped off with no arrangements to get picked up and walk out almost a year later then build a houseboat to live on
It is not legal for me to sell real bear parts but these replica are cast from real and are legal and cost less. Inquire
Fossil walrus these are baby tusks of ivory for pendants limited supply
Wolf bone beads silver ends $8
Alaska wolf bones are naturally hollow. Metal ends help stop beads from ever cracking, as well as being decorative.
Unsure if I dare offer these. I have lots of capped claws, but can not promise you turquoise or ivory or 'whatever'. If you email me I may or may not have exactly what you want but it might take me half an hour to find out! This then becomes a special order for $30 more. The shop cart is not smart enough for you to write me what your preference is. Never mind it's complicated, trust me. See my ordering page -- 'huge problem' To order this you must be happy with 'a capped wolf claw' for $30 less then a special order. If I get too many puzzled people I will remove this item.
New shop cart
Items that have a shopping cart icon on the picture are in present time, available and for sale. Just click to buy. Other items are to show the kinds of things I have and I might have that item (If I can find it) But I can show you something similar, as a special order. Special orders usually cost more as it occupies more of my time. Looking for something even raw material not in the cart takes more time. It's true that the shopping cart is only the tip of the iceberg, but looking as my stuff under the counter, or my cool stuff not listed, just cost more, see my ordering information
