Generally the swordfish bills are not sold, they are cut off and discarded at sea by the fishermen. Occasionally crew members will keep a few here and there, and after much effort they can be beautifully finished and carved like scrimshaw. The core of a swordfish bill is vascularized, so that the bill does take some time to "cure" before it can be worked on as a display/art item. Since there is no lack of supply of the bills, I can only assume the reason you don't see more swordfish bill art/scrimshaw in waterfront galleries is that the selling price wouldn't justify the time to prepare and decorate them.
