Your guide through the lost arts and the forgotten crafts. Brian Stockman is a master carver with more than 50 years of experience carving all mediums from wood, to stone, horn, bone, ivory, and ice. He has a particular speciality as a scrimshander (one who does scrimshaw), carrying on the ancient art popularized by New England whalers. Brian has spent a lifetime gathering knowledge of lost arts and forgotten crafts, all of which he shares with you: From flint knapping arrowheads to making backpacks from Bass tree bark (during peeling season, of course), to tapping maple trees using traditional hand tools, to carving gnomes from deer antler, scrimshawing a whale on a whale's tooth, carving a loom shuttle from cow bone, and making a fur hat from an otter pelt (complete with hand made brass buckle), and countless other skills and pieces of knowledge.

A few things I'm working on (Whale's tooth knife handle)
Works great, another easy way I've found is to simply put the wire in a power drill chuck and use the friction from the rotation to get rid of the pith. No heating required
Tactical Turtle, thank you for checking out our channel, we appreciate your support. You’re right, l’ve done that too and it works well.
As a beginner scrimshander, I thank you, Brian, for the tips! Great style, brother!
Thank you so much Matt and welcome to the tribe! I’m glad you enjoyed this video, we have big plans for more on the subject coming soon.
@@StockmanOriginal I guess I'd do better scrim if I wore my kilt. Clan Buchanan here 🤘🎩🥄🤘
@@woodsbones Absolutely! So happy to have you in our tribe!
I have a narwhal tusk about 8 feet long, was handed down from my great grandfather to my grandfather my mother then to me, story goes he took part on a research expedition to the arctic circle and i don't think i want to know how this heirloom was acquired 😂
Wow Evan, that’s the coolest thing ever. I have worked on just about every kind of ivory there is except for Narwhal. Cherish it forever.
This is awsome ❤️🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much Alessandro!
That came out great!
Thank you Rushchaser!
that came out great. and the fit looks tight...
Thanks Lee, yeah I kinda surprised myself with how tight it fits- quite pleased.
Very nice bro 🙌😁
Thank you my friend.
Very nice - well done!
Thank you Fouroakscrafts, I appreciate that.
@@StockmanOriginal I made some wooden grips (Zebrawood) for a police officer for a small 38 special. It's not easy. That ivory looks fantastic!
@fouroakscrafts7240 Oh, l bet those came out wicked nice!
Wanted to see you take few a shots! But understand it’s probably UA-cam rules and not turning your channel into a shooting show. Great work as always, really does suit the firearm! My Colt 1851 has ‘ RM Enfield’ stamped walnut grips!
Thanks YorkshireJoinery, I had intended to pop a few rounds off but something is goofy with the gun and only two chambers fired. Now I have to go in and figure that out.🤔🥴
magnifique!
Thank you very much Lucas!
Absolutely fantastic, very well fitted to the frame. Awesome work!
Thank you JoseyWales, I’m very pleased with the outcome.
Beautiful Brian, well done.
Thanks Joe, there’s one thing off my bucket list.
Wonderful work as always. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Thank you Ashley, I appreciate your support.
Very nice job they look great. It’s not an easy job fitting handles on guns. Thanks Brain
Plainnpretty, thank you so much. It was a tricky project but worked out well.
Sweet, Are you going to let them age naturally or help the process along?
Thanks Willys, I’ll just let them do their thing. Being on a black powder pistol it shouldn’t take long.😁
looks good Brian :) take care :)
Thank you Janson, I appreciate that! You take care as well, and say hello to “Special Guest Willy” for me.
@@StockmanOriginal will do :)
Gorgeous!!! Well done sir 👍🏻. Although I was expecting that you would have done some beautiful scrimshaw on them as well. 🐾🙏🏻✌🏻
Thanks Scott, I think the ivory is so beautiful in itself that for this gun it’s enough. If it was a fancy engraved piece I might have stepped it up a notch.
Very nice
Thank you Cipherzeroactual!
They are beautiful !!
Thank you Roberteddy, I appreciate that.
Very nice carving.. thanks for sharing your talent with us your fellow wood carvers....
Thank you so much Samuell, it’s nice to have more carvers in our tribe!!
Great stuff as always I’m sure the final product will be amazing
Thanks William, it worked out well. I’ll try to get a video out tomorrow to show how it came out.
Any suggestions on where to find a red maple tree like this?
Hello Shawn, thanks for being part of our little tribe here. Where are you located? Red maples are pretty common here in New England.
P.S. They are also known as “ swamp maples “😉
Beautifully crafted. I subscribed at once.
Thank you Bruder, we’re so happy to have in our tribe!👍🏼
That, my good sir, gets a like and a follow ❤🔥😲💥
Thank you Thomas, we appreciate your support! Welcome to the tribe!😀
You always seem to "fuss" your work into perfection. Can't wait to see the end result. Take care!
Thanks Josey Wales! Cool that you caught this for your namesake carried a brace of these in shoulder holsters in the movie!🤔😁
It's going to look very nice... can't wait to see the finished product there eh! Thanks for sharing
Thank you Denis, I’m pretty pleased with it so far. The hard part is done so it won’t take long now.
Where do you get ivory for these types of projects?
Hello Brian, thanks for checking in. I just stumble across it in antique shops or people find out l’m a scrimshander and bring me stuff. You can’t really just go looking for it.
You have it looking good very fiddly work . I’m looking forward to seeing it finished. Thanks
Thank you Plainnpretty, it won’t be long now.
That is a hard job. I remember trying to fit Colt grips on a Ruger Single Six many years ago. The wood on the Ruger has less taper than a Colt. I gave up and got use to the different feel. I should have just made my own. That way it's a fit to your hand.
Thanks for checking it out 57 Willys. I have a Ruger single six also and when I was in Alaska I got some whale bone which I turned into grips. And yeah, I belled them out pretty good.
wow that's a lot of work.. but worth it. you do great work.
Thank you Lee!
Nice to see yoy, i miss a lot your videos! I hope to see that grip finished, stay healty and safe 😊
Thank you so much my friend, it’s always nice to hear from you. I hope all is well with you, take care.
Did you make your spectacles? Great film thanks for sharing your work, very enjoyable, as always, God bless.
Thank you Lucas, I appreciate that. No, I didn’t make my glasses but l’ve repaired them enough to claim l made them.🥴I think I will be making a replacement soon though.
I’ve made a lot of gunstocks and pistol grips over the years, but I’ve never tried a one piece grip. I have a reproduction 1860 Army Colt that’s a good candidate…maybe bone or stag…🤔
Can't wait to see the end result. Sure it'll be outstanding! 🐾🙏🏻✌🏻
Thanks Scott, that was the toughest part. The shaping shouldn’t take too long now.
@@StockmanOriginal you're the master!
Looking forward to seeing the finished product. Always appreciate your work!
Thank you Ashley, that was the hard part. I should be able to shape them up pretty soon.
WHAT ARE THE TOOLS CALLED YOU USED TO CARVE THE FINE DEATAILS IN THE BOWL AND THE ANTLER STAMPER?
Hello Christopher, thank you for checking out our channel, we appreciate your support. The tools l used for detailing the pipe are scrapers and gravers that l made from old files. They are very similar to what I use for ivory and antlers. We have a video on tools and techniques for scrimshaw that show them in greater detail, you might want to check that out. Also there’s a video on carving a little gnome out of antler that will help explain the process better for you. Thanks again, be well.
Parabéns pelo vídeo
Thank you Barbybushcraft.
I have a few birch trees here on my land but the storms and the woodpeckers have really done them in over the last few years, I only have a small handful now. What I do now is visit my local piece of state land and look for freshly blown down birch trees and if I need bark I tend to remove it from them as they've all had the same issue there as I've had here. I got some today for a couple of knife sheaths I want to make and I keep the scraps for fire starting.
Hey AdirondackBuzzard , thanks for checking us out. That sounds like a good way to harvest your bark. Birch are such a northern tree and it seems like a southern climate is pushing its way up to us, l don’t think they appreciate it much. I need to collect some bark and I hope l didn’t miss the peel. It’s a small window of opportunity compared to other trees.
I've been making wing bone calls on and off for 40+ years started with Thanksgiving Turkey bones Almost always withh 3 bones there have been quite a few birds that wish they had never heard one used Being a Carpenter I've used good wood glue at the joints and different wood stains in a random camouflage pattern On my first try I used Bees wax and heavy waxed thread normally used for hand stitching leather Lanyard on that was a leather thong but now all are Parachute cord. If I broke or lost one of yours I'd cry for a month and bitch about it for the rest of my life
Nodemever, thank you so much for checking out our channel and welcome to the tribe!! Coming from someone with your experience l take that as an extreme compliment, thank you so much!
Take the bark off, then use chalk line.
Hello John, thanks for checking out our channel. That’s a good idea and I would have done that but it wasn’t yet peeling season when I made those and the chalk line wasn’t showing up on the rough bark very well.
Perfect
Thank you Pat!
No bs with this vd straight to it easy ways for easy days cheers
Thank you so much Simon for checking out our channel!! Welcome to the tribe!!
If you would like some wire clothes hangers, I would be happy to send you some.
Hello Del, thanks for checking out our channel, we appreciate your support. Wow, l’m surprised that you still have access to those, I just haven’t seen any for so long. Thank you for your offer but I’m all set, but lordy I used the heck out of those in years past.😀
