I picked up some bones from a field dressing a few years back--still in fantastic shape. Might use those as practice and who knows, maybe I'll pick up a nice new hobby in scrimshawing!

    I don't do scrimshaw, I do knife making, but I suppose a knife handle and a whale's tooth are similar sort of things.
    Most knife makers use power tools like belt sanders, but I only use hand tools like rasps & sandpaper, and something I have learned from this video, even if I never do any scrimshaw, is to use a tightly rolled & bound magazine as a base for sandpaper, which looks like it will give the same fort of firm, but very slightly 'accommodating' support as hands & fingers -- Thankyou!

    • @StockmanOriginal
      @StockmanOriginal  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello AdirondackBuzzard, we’re so happy our video has been helpful. As for securing a powder horn- a technique that has worked for me is to use a sandbag. You can form it for any contour and strap your horn to it. The leg from an old pair of pants works good and is half done, just tie off or sew up the ends.

    • @TimewarpTV

      Andy, l’m so glad you found our video and I would love to see how you make out with it. The best thing to do would be, once you have the surface polished test it to see if the ink is going come off nicely. If the bone is very porous and the ink sticks to much you may have to sand it down again and apply wax or some kind of sealer to fill in the pours. Check out our video about reviewing a scrimshaw kit by Rough Rider Knife company. That was bone and worked quite well, with out sealing it.

    Good morning Sir, first of all i apologize for my bad english language , i am Franco from Italy and first time in your channel. I am interested to learn so fantastic technique. I am building my first knife and would be fantastic to combining this techniques for the handle. My question is: do you think that for a knife handle in deer horn is possible to do same job ?
    I mean seems to be differrent material from ivory and my doubt is when i put ink in the fine line if a horn remained stained. Many thanks for your help and compliments for your great job. Greetings from italy.

    • @StockmanOriginal
      @StockmanOriginal  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It’s so nice to have you with us Franco. Yes it’s possible to do this with deer antler but different deer have different characteristics. Some species have denser antler than others. The denser the better and working off the outer surface you’ll find nice material before you get to the punky core. The best thing to do is practice on a scrap piece first. Check out some Sami work. Let me know how it goes for you. Greetings to you too from New Hampshire.

    • @StockmanOriginal
      @StockmanOriginal  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey Paul, your’s looks like a new name, welcome aboard. In answer to your question, bone is tricky because it varies. Leg bone is great material but it has little holes throughout for nerve and blood flow-some are very small but will pick up ink, to correct this you could warm the bone gently and apply wax to it allowing it to soak in then sand it off . That should seal it enough. Other bones like jaw bones don’t need sealing-the inside surface that is-the outside surface is pretty good but will crack a little. Please let me know if this helps or not.👍🏼

      Ok, one more thought; shouldn't there be ink in the low spots and not left on the high spots? I remember, correct me if I am wrong, the ivory had the design scratched in and then the ink put on with the extra taken off leaving ink in the low places.

      Yes Richard, you are correct ,the surface has to be sanded smooth for this to work. If it’s not and there are ridges and valleys ink would stay in the valleys. As for your other question, I’m from an inland New Hampshire town. It seems I was hard wired for this, and when I joined the Army and was stationed in Alaska, I found scrimshaw was still a thing. As a New Englander I was right at home with all of that.

    What brand of black ink are you using? My ink is taking days to dry. Not sure why

      Hello E Perkins, good to hear from you. I use Higgin’s india lnk, which dries quickly , especially when I smear it around with my finger.

      Hey Miguel, thanks so much for checking us out, we appreciate that a lot. I wish I could say I did have one but they are getting really hard to come by, and current laws make it very difficult to trade in those materials. Once in a while a person might find one in an antique shop, keep your eyes open and good luck.

    Is indie ink used the Chinese ink? Thank you for your help.

      Hey arkas, I’m not sure about Chinese ink. India ink is a lampblack based ink. In a pinch you can make lampblack by holding a plate or something over the flame of a candle, moving it about to avoid over heating and cracking the plate. The black that results is lampblack.

      @@StockmanOriginal I always try to read comments to make sure any comment I make is helpful. I was going to comment to say that the cool thing about india ink is that it is basically lamp black (which you described sailors making to do scrimshaw while on board ships). But turns out you obviously knew already! For the commenter, I think chinese calligraphy ink is the same as india ink
      Thanks for showing your beautiful skill and craftsmanship!
