Scrimshaw is a technique of stippling and scratching on fossil
ivory, horn, and bone. Its roots lie in the traditional art of
whaling men of the 18th and 19th centuries, but it has developed as
a recognized art form. Today, fine scrimshaw miniatures adorn
handcrafted knives, jewelry, billiard cues, cigarette lighters, and
many other objects. With over 700 photos, this book presents a
history of scrimshaw, provides instruction on carving and
decorating beautiful scrimshaw, and displays a gallery of 45
international artists. Their fascinating work gives carvers
inspiration. This unique book gives artists, collectors, and
everyone interested in scrimshaw a great reference.
