Time Investment

Doing a good job takes time

The process of cleaning and restoring jaws is a long and painstaking one. The usual turn around for jaws is around 2-3 months.

Years of experience

Cleaning and restoring shark jaws

Simon has over 30 years of experience and has cleaned and restored hundreds of jaws. He is one of the only people in Australia to offer such specialised services locally and internationally.

Cleaned by a professional

Is the only way to have a lasting trophy jaw

Shark jaws are made of cartilage and not bone like other animal skulls. Consequently any notion of burying the jaws in the backyard, putting them on an anthill, boiling them in water, will end up destroying the jaws and all the teeth will fall out.

We provide a range of services which are available internationally. Founder, Simon De Marchi, has worked with all types of sharks: from white sharks to frilled sharks.

Jaw Cleaning

Cleaning a shark jaw is a delicate process which requires precision and skill. The entire process takes a few months and once completed, we can also mount the jaw to a custom cut perspex board.

Jaw Restoration

Jaws often come to me in a range of different states, some are discoloured, some have holes or cracks. I photograph and assess each jaw to determine the work required to restore it to its former beauty.

Skulls and Skeletons

The cleaning and preparation of shark skulls and skeletons is a very delicate and time consuming process due sharks being composed entirely of cartilage, with no bones unlike other fish.
