For those that aren’t aware, bone makes for horrible dice, it’s porous, oddly shaped, prone to chipping, and the larger pieces we need to make dice from are hollow and spongy in the middle thanks to that wonderful thing called marrow. So, for the longest time our standard answer was, “Nope sorry, we don’t make bone dice.”

As it would turn out all those issues are solved once you stabilize the bone and cast it in a urethane resin block. The colored holes you see are the resin filling in the teeth holes in the gator jawbone. The white parts are the actual gator jawbone. Yup, these dice aren’t just crated from any old bone, they’re made from an actual alligator jaw bone fresh from the swamps of Lousiana. Actually, they come from an alligator farm in Louisiana where we source gator jawbones from the largest of farm raised gators as it takes an 8ft gator to have a large enough jawbone to craft our dice from. Much like carnivorous cows, these gators are raised for meat and leather. If you haven’t tried it, fried alligator tail is really delicious.

In 2014 we rolled out something special for GenCon, something we’d been asked to make since the very first day Artisan Dice existed. It’s the 2nd most commonly asked for item on our customers’ wish lists. Bone Dice.

    I got these dice as a birthday gift for my wife and they are amazingly beautiful. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her so happy about a set of dice.

    Not only are the dice themselves amazing, but Artisan Dice is a fantastic company to purchase from. We bought these dice during the COVID 19 panic and materials for The Reliquary were difficult to come by causing a delay to our order. Not only did they ship the dice separately, but also didn’t charge extra for the additional cost of shipping. All my questions have been answered by them in 1 business day or less and they have gone out of their way to make sure that I am a satisfied customer.

    TLDR; I’m a very very satisfied customer and will make purchases from them in the future and will recommend this company to all my friends.
