{"product_id":"cuttlefish-bone-casting-box-6","title":"Cuttlefish Bone Box Of 6","description":"\u003cp\u003eCuttlefish 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural cuttlefish bone with a soft interior that takes clean, smooth-walled impressions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel is pressed directly into the bone — no separate mold-making materials required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSprue, gates, and vents are easily cut with a sharp knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo halves are secured with binding wire before pouring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for simple, small castings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn ancient, proven low-tech casting method for jewelers and metalsmiths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eContents per Box\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 pieces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural cuttlefish bone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePrimary Use\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSmall metal casting molds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e6 pieces of natural cuttlefish bone per box\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Otto Frei","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43579617444054,"sku":"122.930","price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9832\/0342\/files\/cuttlefish-bone-box-of-6-otto-frei.jpg?v=1719958555","url":"https:\/\/www.ottofrei.com\/products\/cuttlefish-bone-casting-box-6","provider":"Otto Frei","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
