- How to scrimshaw a whale's tooth, the next level: scrimshawing a puffin! This is a slightly advanced level of scrimshaw, so much so that we had to split the tutorial into two parts. First, Brian carved the whale's tooth into the form of a puffin in part 1: • How to Scrimshaw a Puf... .

Of course, not everyone has a whale tooth hanging around for scrimshawing, and anyway there are laws governing ivory, particularly elephant ivory, that you can research on your own. You can sometimes find existing ivory in antique stores: elephant, walrus, warthog, hippopotamus and even mammoth tusks; and whale and elk teeth. "Existing" being the key word.
You do not need ivory to scrimshaw, though. You can scrimshaw on antler (moose, deer) and bones. Turkey bones are a great material to practice scrimshaw on. You can even use cow bones sold cheaply as dog chews. And then there's commodite, AKA Johnstone. You can figure out what that one is yourself. (Hint: It's porcelain.)

Thank you Brian!! I have been practicing on old piano keys and am coming along nicely thanks to you!!!! I have made my own tools out of deer antler and carbide!!!
joesneon, that’s wonderful!! Nothing could make me happier.
Beautiful work Brian. Thanks for sharing and Hello from Illinois
Thanks Rich, I love sharing information and hello to Illinois from New Hampshire.👍🏼
Thanks for doing what you do! Extremely gratifying!
Thanks Jack, that means a lot!!
Awesome! Enjoyed every minute of you working on the puffin. Great tip on walking the chisel for feather texture. Very cool!
Su Chicken, thanks for watching.
Amazing work I love it... I want to have a go at basic basic Scrimshaw on a bone pocket knife just for fun first time. Brian is inspiring my creative side..Thanks 😀
We just ordered a basic scrimshaw kit from Amazon, it’s a pocket knife. We’re
Going to do a review and scrimshaw something cool. Maybe raffle it off to a subscriber. If it arrives in time hopefully that video will come out next weekend.
That’s cool Jolly Peanut,Max has a plan for the near future that you might enjoy.
Brian, thanks for all the info on your scrimshaw tools and techniques. I make and scrimshaw a few powder horns each year, and watching a master at work is very helpful, indeed.
Gregory thanks for watching, powder horns are a lot of fun to do.
Enjoyed part two🙂 the colors applied really seal the deal👍
Yeah, a little color really makes it pop.
Such beautiful detail and what a cute little puffin!!!
Thanks Kayla, how’s your move going? All good I hope. Happy holidays to you and your’s.
@@StockmanOriginal happy holidays to you as well! The move is almost finished and we couldn’t be happier. The farm is so beautiful and peaceful. It’s like the troubles of the world outside just seem to melt away when I get home.
That’s awesome!!!
Absolutely beautiful work. Thank you for sharing your talent. I did a tiny bit of scrimshaw back in the last century. I sailed across the Atlantic and when we stopped in Madeira, there was still an active whaling station there. I want to try again on a piece of G10 on the scales of a rigging knife. Thanks for the motivation, though I know my work will never come close to the wonderful pieces you do.
elliowb2, thank you so much. That sounds awesome, sailing over like that, what an experience to reflect on. We are so happy to have you on board with us.
Superb.
Thank you!
great job Brian , look forward to the next video
Thanks Shawn
8:44 Sorry I was making a racket with the rotary sander, friends! It’s for a good cause.
Very cool David! I'm betting you make your own tools, as do I. For a while now my favorite small tool material has been furniture and box spring coils. One old couch and you have materials forever LoL. I'm a big believer in the old way. Recycle, reuse until it's used up. It's a beautiful piece, very nice work!
Hey Nick, I’m with you “ reuse until all used up”. And yes, those chair springs that look like a continuous S get used a lot in my shop, along with files, truck springs, and anything I can get my hands on. Keep in touch, Brian
Such a cool project, I love it! :)
Thank you Mr. Hobbiton Piper Sir. I really enjoyed watching you’re 1,000 subscriber give away, what fun!
Truely amazing work 👌 I love the sound of the scribe being dragged through that ivory ❤️ where do you source the whales tooth from 🤔. Thanks again Brian🙏 I love your work ☺️
Hey Dave, how are you? Whale’s teeth are not common but here in New England you still come across them in antique shops Occasionally
Awesome work Brian I love it. I am very impressed with your skills. Now how much do you charge for something like that? How do you do your pricing for your work?
Hi Ken, thank you so much! That piece is 750. Pricing is always the hardest part of the operation but what I try to do is keep track of my time plus the cost of materials. I don’t put things in galleries because of the incredible mark up involved. Max started a Facebook group called Stockman Original’s lost arts and forgotten crafts where l post items pretty much as l finish them, plus so many other people show their work as well.
