You are quite the artist, thanks for sharing! Does this work need to be done on actual ivory, or can the fake ivories also be done? Maybe antler? Guess I need to find me a book on these techniques, can you suggest a book?

Lovely work! Where does one acquire the ivory micarta blanks? My daughter is a good artist and I'd like to have her try her hand.

[sigp220.45]

Those are wonderful. You are a very talented artist.

How does the scrimshaw hold up to actual use? Does the ink wear off?

 

[Shotter11]

That looks great and very tastefully done.

 

[KWYJIBO]

I also like the ostrich holster.

Short Barel Very impressive I must say. Wish I could do work like that. ps

 

[Short Barrel]

It can be done on a variety of materials.I get my micarta from knife supply companies like texasknife.com

 

[Rumrunner]

Terry said it right, never get tired of looking at your great pictures of great guns and grips.

All of your work is simply amazing but the elephant on the 475L is simply awesome.

 

[DCRuger]

Very nice!
I used to do a bit of that myself on knives, powder horns and teeth.
Not that good though!
