Tried a little scrimshaw

[Moleman]

Done these a while back. Thought I'd try my hand at some primitive scrimshaw. I sketched it first with a pencil then just dove in with a scribe, then inked it. Think I'll try my hand at it again in the near future as I need another horn.

Looks good! Scrimshaw comes hard for me! I can do it, it’s just not that easy and it wears on my hands to press the scribe down to make the scratch. Looking forward to your next horn project/ scrimshaw.

I absolutely love that squirrel. Well done.

 

[Moleman]

Thank you Gentlemen. Since I love to chase tree rats, I thought one would be apropos on a horn.

What are you using as a scribe?

The Sicilian

Nice work there.

 

[Moleman]

SH, I just used a half wore out but very sharp old craftsman metal scribe I've had for years and years.

Squirrel, very nicely done.

Simple, but with a lot of thought.

Looks like folk art to me, Moleman! Keep up the good work.
