RE: '...hoping to re-spoke my wagon with narwhal horn.'

It isn't a horn - it's a tooth, of which narwhals only have two. Usually only the left tooth grows out of the jaw - but in rare instances both do, with only the left one growing to greater length.

The males use them as weapons in fights over females, often leading to the death of one or more males.
