Hello! This is the most amazing scrimshaw work I've seen! So totally amazing. I've recently discovered scrimshaw and have fallen madly in love with it. I'm a traditional artist and am wanting to try a few pieces and get a start. Any tips process wise? Sites that I should check out to get started? How should I practice? I'm highly interested in doing some Megalodon teeth but I understand they're harder to do than other materials. Any tips tools wise? Thanks so much for any tips!

Hi Lee, practice cross-hatching with pencil then pen and ink before scribing. Get a good scribe and learn to sharpen it yourself with #400 sandpaper. Good luck

Thank you for the video!!! I'm attempting to scrimshaw on bone; would you recommend sealing it at all? I'm running into issues with the ink bleeding, but the sealing I've attempted makes the color weaker.
@seamus93056 жыл бұрын
Dear Mermaid, yeah bone is tricky. You might try coating it with super glue and then sand and polish. Might need a few coats. Good luck.

Hello: I've been doing Scrimshaw on powder horns since the 70's, but I can't get the lines quite seamless like you. What tool are you using? It almost appears to be some type of electric "graver"? I've seen guys use them, but I only ever used a sharp pointed carbide scribe. Thank you. Dave
@seamus93054 ай бұрын
Yeah, powder horn can be fibrous. I use a hard steel scribe with a good point. Some of the best material to practice on is Corian countertop. I've used this with reproductive work. Good luck Stoney.
