This version of our large Great White is molded of Ebonite, our proprietary compound of resins that resembles Ebony. This is my personal favorite. I am reluctant to use adjectives to describe my work, but this pieces is gorgeous. The shark is about 14 inches long. Including the polished burlwood base and about 11 inches tall. Polishing these fellows with a powerful buffing machine can be life threatening if, if one is not very careful, their fins get caught in the buffing wheel, turning them instantly into a deadly missile.....not always to my expert polisher, who has been doing this for 35 years, but inevitably to the shark. It is SIGNED and comes with a CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY.
