Scrimshaw Addiction

Amber Scrimshaw

This is the next Scrimshaw, the piece of Mammoth Ivory is 64 grams it is 105mm wide and 95mm high I will do the scrimshaw on the inside curve as it is the best surface. This is our Staffy Pup at about three months.

Step 1 – 07/08/19

I must confess to cheating on the background on this one. I didn’t like the background in the picture but I did like the carpet in my workshop, so I printed out the body of Amber and superimposed her onto the picture of my carpet.

Step 2 – 15/06/19

Picture of Amber superimposed onto a picture of the carpet.

Step 3 – 07/08/19

First I attached the picture of Amber to the ivory and cut out around it. I’ll add the carpet pattern onto the Ivory next.

Step 4 – 10/08/19

This is the start of the carpet on the scrimshawed background, next, I will finish the carpet.

Step 5 – 15/08/19

This is the finished background carpet. Next, I’ll start on Amber.

Step 6- 20/08/19

This is the start of Amber’s body.

Step 7- 28/08/19

Here’s the finished scrimshaw.

Base/Stand

Now for the base. This one will be done in Rose Wood with a Mammoth Ivory nameplate.

Step 1-

This is a nice piece of Rose Wood I’ll use for the base.

Step 2-

The base cut out with a band saw.

Step 3-

This is the base cut out and ready to file and sand.

The End.
