Scrimshaw Addiction

The Archer Scrimshaw

This picture shows the next Scrimshaw I’ll do. It depicts a Japanese Ninja shooting a bow in the style of Japanese Block Prints which are quite striking.

The Ivory is Mammoth. It weighs 53 grams and measures 6cm wide x 10cm high.

Step 1 – 10/5/21

This picture shows the Mammoth ivory polished and ready for the picture to be attached.

Step 2 – 10/5/21

This picture shows the outline cut into the Mammoth Ivory. Next, I’ll fill in the black areas.

Step 3 – 10/5/21

This picture shows the black areas filled in. Next, I’ll start on the coloured sections.

Step 4 – 18/5/21

This picture shows the coloured areas filled in. Next, I’ll make the base.

Step 5 – 20/5/21

This picture shows the finished Scrimshaw on its base. The base was made from Snake Wood with a Scrimshawed Mammoth ivory nameplate.

The End.
