Looking for options on getting a set warthog teeth capped with brass.  Only thing I can think of is a small strip of copper to wrap and cut a bottom to match and solder it on the wrap?
Any ideas??
Thanks in advance

Tried 12 gauge brass? I use them on turkey beards. I found to get the plastic out you have to heat them to soften the plastic. Then polish them with brass polish. They should be close to the right size, suppose you could grind the lip off and polish it after that.

Are you wanting cheap of nice really nice?

You can take some silver (real silver) wire, drill a matching hole through the tusk, wrap the wire around the tusk about 1/2 inch up to the end and using silver or gold solder and wrap the wire and heat just enough to melt it into the wire.

There are some cheaper solder that only look gold.
