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.
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
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.
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
Utterly exquisite work!
Beautiful work. Thank you for posting this video.
I have watched allot of these videos as I do scrimshaw and this video is by far the best.
Thanks Scott.

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.
Spectacular art work. Thank you for sharing.
More people should try this exquisite art form you have taught us. A great investment of your time and should be worth a lot. Thank you!
Masterful. Fabulous
Thank you
