OTHER FINISHING TOOLS THAT MAY HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE DEPENDING ON THE TRIBES LOCATION. 1.(SALT WATER OR RIVER MOUTHS) SHARK SKIN FOR SANDING AND SHARK TEETH FOR CUTTING AND CARVING. A BILLFISH BILL ALSO MAKES A GOOD FILE.
2. (FRESH WATER)PARAHINA TEETH AND OTHER FISH TEETH COULD ALSO BE USED. THE SCALES OF THE GIANT ARAPAIMA FISH MAKE GOOD FILES AND ARE STILL USED TO FILE FINGERNAILS AS WELL AS OTHER THINGS TODAY. HERE IS A PICTURE OF A 15 FOOT 4 INCH ARAPAIMA NOTE THE LARGE THICK SCALES, ONE FISH YEALDS A LARGE SUPPLY OF SCALES AND MEAT.
I AM GLAD YOU ARE AWARE OF THE POSINOUS QUALITY OF THE WOOD DUST. MANY TYPES OF EXOTIC WOODS CAN BE DANGEROUS.
