This guide is a dazzling showcase of this uniquely American art
form. The pages are filled with tips, techniques, and insights that
both educate and demonstrate the steps to creating authentic and
beautiful scrimshaw. An examination of ivory includes a wide range
of alternative natural and man-made ivory substitutes, including
bone, horn, and nuts. Without question, this is the most complete
technical and aesthetic book ever written in the field. With over
200 color photos, this step-by-step guide addresses scrimshaw
tools, patterns, inking, and inlays. Originally written as a
training manual for studio apprentices, this knowledge is now
available to you.
