@@jwmccorkle3250 I’m so glad you enjoyed the video, very happy to have you with us.

@@ExploringCabinsandMines hello and welcome to the tribe. I believe the wood cuts better when it’s fresh and with pine you want to get the bark off as soon as possible or you will have pine borers in it, plus it speeds up the drying process.

Thank you very much! We don’t have a video on that specifically but I can tell you that all bone has tiny ports or holes throughout to accommodate nerve and blood vessels. The ports vary in size depending upon how large the animal is. Plastics of course won’t have these. Thanks for watching and welcome to the tribe!😀

Good Sir, I am honored to make your acquaintance and so happy that you have found our channel. I would love to sit down with you sometime and listen to your stories, very impressive legacy for sure, thank you for sharing. Sincerely, Brian.

Yes, thank you, and a beautiful day as well.

@ that’s what you said to your nads, wasn’t it?

Thank you very much. You might try Scrimshaw Collectors Guild on facebook.

@@StockmanOriginal thanks again

@@tedlee7918 Hello Ted, yes I work in reduction mostly and will add a piece only when necessary.

Hello Hungrimoon and welcome to the tribe. Somewhere l think I have a video on that topic, but here’s some ideas; I take things strips of wood ( I prefer bamboo because it’s splits so well and is tough) then glue sandpaper to the ends, you can then shape them with a knife to meet your needs. Or if needed I will cut long narrow strips of sandpaper to tread through undercuts and such. Then for steelwool I will unroll the pad and pull out strands to either twist up on a stick like a Q-tip or make cordage out of it for those undercuts. And finally I cut thin strip of deerskin and treat with polishing compound. Hopefully this will be helpful for you.

Thank you John and welcome to the tribe!

Hello FuzzyPoppa and welcome to the tribe! Those are actually bone and the Inuit call that an ussik.😉😁

Well I be dang! Thats awesome! I always thought they was ivory. I could sit and talk to you for hours upon hours.

Thank you so much Jordanf, so happy to have you in our tribe.WELCOME!!

Hello ytubeworld and welcome to our tribe. I’m so glad you found our channel. Whales teeth are regulated and can only be bought within the state of the seller. I find them occasionally in antique shops but I live in New England which was a major whaling area. Where are you located?

Do you think it's fine to send it over seas? ​@@StockmanOriginal

​@@StockmanOriginal I'm located in the middle east Dubai.. Is there any way to get some of these 2 or 3 pcs if possible please let me know

@ WOW Dubai, so cool. Unfortunately I don’t sell raw whale teeth, and l’m not even sure what the regulations are for such a thing from the USA, but I have seen teeth advertised from Ukraine, Romania, and Indonesia. I don’t know what your country’s laws are concerning ivory but it might be easier for you to check out those sources. If you go on facebook look up “ Scrimshaw Collector’s Guild “ , there you should find some information about it. Thank you so much for being part of our tribe.

Hello Soldier Drew and welcome to our tribe. No, I didn’t make that one. It’s an antique Sami knife which I treasure greatly. The blade is signed and the handle is made from rain deer antler.

Hello Steven and welcome to our tribe. Two tricks that I use for cleaning out the long stems are: one, take wreath making wire and double it over, then twist it up resulting in a loop on one end, squeeze the loop down till it fits the hole. Make sure the twisted wire is longer than the stem. Now you have a cleaning “ rod”. I use cotton string in the loop as a swab. And two: if the stem is really clogged just run the hot rod through it again ( best done out doors).hope that helps.

Welcome to the tribe!! That makes my day that you have been inspired by our videos, it’s one of the biggest reasons why we are doing this. I would love to see some of your work. Thank you for your support!

🤣I’m old , how do you think I tipped the tree over?🤔

I like ash but some of the nut woods work well also. I suppose one must research a little for the region they live in.

Thank you Ivanhoe, once you learn how to temper steel the sky is the limit. Good steel is all around us, l save all my old files and springs for making tools. I have a coal forge for bigger things but also have made a mini propane forge for smaller tools.

That's cool... I'm gonna try make my own charcoal, as well.

Chris, l’m so glad you found our channel! If l can be of any assistance in your pipe making please don’t hesitate to reach out. Fruit woods work well for a bowl if you don’t have brier or stone. Cheers and welcome to the tribe!

Bandsaws are very handy when they work, l need to replace my small upstairs bandsaw, it died as well.

Thank you for joining us here! That’s a tough question to answer. Where are you located?

@@TattooedNSnappedBack Thank you Brennan, there was a time when I could have used them but I think l’m all set for now. Thank you too for being part of our growing tribe.

@@peterstefanini7953 Thank you Peter! It sounds as if you’re off on a grand new adventure . Exciting that someone near you has some teeth for you, excellent! You know the nice thing about scrimshaw is, if you don’t like how something comes out you can sand it off and do it again, so there’s no reason to be intimidated by a tooth, just have fun.

Thanks for joining us Uncle, I would love to see that trick.

Thank you Grapes, I hope you find a blanket to work with.

Thank you very much, I am quite pleased with the outcome for sure.

Thank you so much , we’re so happy you found our channel! We’ve got some fun stuff coming up soon. Would love to see some of your work.

What are you saying nunya?

Thanks 😁

Yes, thank you for that. I have learned something from this.

Hello CannaBeardGrows, thank you for joining us here. Yes I can make you one, l’m on messenger.

Hi Paul, thanks for checking out our channel. You can reach me on messenger.
