Just wanted to point out I do not use bone or carve since bone has little striations and canals for blood that frequently cloud a scrimshaw image, but not all the time. The grain of bone is difficult to engrave or incise too, but I have done a fair number of custom jobs with it. (material supplied by the customer) My material of choice is Woolly Mammoth ivory. Another set showing a portraits progress: The top 4 images are pencil, the bottom 4 are painted/inked lines cut in. [ Edited by: WJHScrimshaw 2010-06-17 01:09 ]
