First Scrimshaw

[Boudreaux]

Still new to all this and after reading and looking at a few things. Decided I would take my squirrel horn from TOTW and try my hand a scrimshaw. This design is from a new and up coming camo company that I have some friends of my are involved in. What ya think, Its OK not the best...LEARNED A LOT. So the next one things should go much better.

Thanks

If it holds and protects the powder until you are ready to use it then it is mission accomplished. We all must start somewhere and you seem ready to learn so have at it and let's see horn number two.

Looks pretty good to me :thumbsup:

A lot better than my first (and only) attempt, that I ain't showing.

Boudreaux: Nothing like taking the plunge. Your ram's head came out fine -- and that's a pretty ambitious first project.
Most of us learn by doing (except me -- my stuff never improves!).

What tool(s) did you use?

That turned out well, and it is a great insight into shading, which a big part of three dimensional scrimshaw. :thumbsup:

The wide-angle shot does it the most justice. It looks down-right mean! Nice.

 

[Boudreaux]

The only tool that I used was the tip of a exacto razor knife, It worked out alright.

Thanks

[Boudreaux]

I used white India ink to fill in.

Thanks
