	What is Scrimshaw? The art of scrimshaw dates back to whaling days over 200 years ago. The intricate hand carvings and engravings done by American whalemen are accepted as America's most important folk arts. Scrimshaw refers to the carvings or engravings of assorted bone and ivories. The art of scrimshaw developed as months at sea stretched into years. Men's idle hours were occupied by etching discarded whale teeth and bone with scenes of the voyage and pictures found in books. With the disappearance of whaling, scrimshaw also almost disappeared. This nearly forgotten art is still being kept alive by us in the same manner of the gone by days of whaling to create treasures of today and heirlooms of tomorrow

	Made in the USA All scrimshaw work begins at the time of the order by scrimshanders here in America. No two pieces of art work will be the same. Work is done one order at a time.


	Materials Used The materials we use are both ecologically and environmentally safe. All our hand engraved designs are done on either shed antler bone which is naturally shed by deer, elk, and moose in the spring and regrown during the summer, or ancient fossil ivories found buried and preserved in the frozen tundra of Alaska from the extinct ice age mammoth elephants or walrus ivory thousands of years old. The items featured here use a polished brass base with 14 kt. gold or silver rhodium plate.
