SCRIMSHAW ~I’ve been a scrimshander (ivory scratcher), or one who does scrimshaw, since 1979. My subject is the natural world, concentrating on birds and mammals. I work on all forms of legal ivory, buffalo horn and several synthetics. My task over the years has been to promote scrimshaw as a fine art. See my Blogs section for more detailed discussions on history, techniques and media.
