How to Scrimshaw a Puffin, Part 1 (Carving the Whale's tooth)

- How to scrimshaw a whale's tooth, the next level: carving a puffin! First, Brian carves the whale's tooth into the form of a puffin. In the next video Brian will scrimshaw the details onto the puffin figurine.
This is a slightly advanced level of scrimshaw, so much so that we had to split the tutorial into two parts. This is part 1, and part 2 is here: • How to Scrimshaw a Puf... .

And all of the rest of our scrimshaw videos in this playlist:
• What a Wing Bone Turke...
This is the only scrimshaw tool you actually need: • The Only Scrimshaw Too...
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.)

Jack, thanks so much for being part of our tribe!! We are so excited to be doing this channel and sharing information, this is how our Species
Oops, I did it again- hit the wrong button!! Anyway, species has developed over time- by sharing information. I hope it goes on forever!!!
I do the same when I carve my fishing lures 😊 photos are great but accurate drawings I find really map out the details 👍 that's a great tip Brian 👌
Thanks Dave, It’s always good to cross reference.😁
Another masterful video, congrats on 2,000+ subscribers, so well deserved!! Have a wonderful holiday season, brother
Thank you my friend and a grand holiday season to you and yours!
Hello Brian, very nice work can’t wait to see the finished product. This channel is so interesting,so many cool projects- thank you🤙
Trulax, thank you so much! It’s great to hear from you, we are absolutely loving doing these videos and hearing from you all. Thanks again for watching.
an excellent and educational watch on a new years day Brian👍👍Learning all about the steel wool fragments, they shure stick alright! going to have to pick up a handy magnet🙂
Yep, steel wool can be a pain but snapping it against something seems to dislodge them.
Good job,master! 👏🙂🌲
Thank you so much, we appreciate your support.👍🏼
Very cool! I always learn something watching you work. Quite often you work with materials I haven't had the pleasure of trying myself. Although you're probably already aware I'll mention it for others, there are demagnetizers. Every thing from a manual block to electric units for larger tools. I'm getting into hornwork so I'm really looking forward to the scrimshaw part!
Hey Nick, good to hear from you. No I don’t know about demagnetizes- interesting. Horn work is fun, you should check out Scottish snuff mulls . My phone already stole an “r”from me, I wonder what else it will change.
@@StockmanOriginal just search for them on Amazon and take your pick lol. Yep, these phones think they know better than us lol
@@StockmanOriginal those Scottish horns are neat btw!
Awesome...thank you
Sheepdog9 , thank you! It’s so good to hear from you.
I want to explore doing scrimshaw on antler and was wondering if it is the same principle as the horn and teeth that you do? I appreciate your work and the effort you take to educate. Keep up the good work.
Hey John, thanks for checking us out. Yes it is pretty much the same with some differences. Antler tends to be a bit more porous than horn or ivory. And antlers vary from species to species, whitetail deer for instance has quite a hard or dense shell which can be polished and scrimshawed quite nicely while moose antler is a bit more porous and may absorb some ink into the surface. You will have to play around with it a bit, good luck to you, and please let me know how you are making out.👍🏼
@@StockmanOriginal Great answer. I've been playing around with moose and reindeer antler. Moose antler seems to have great quality antler near the base I found. The further I go up the antler the more porous it becomes. Btw - have you ever looked at Sami antler carving? Sami is the indigenous group of Scandinavia (and part of Russia) they have been carving bone for a while. Just check out sami knives and you will se what I mean. :-)
Very nice, I am curious, Do you know what the most common tool set was for bulk removal in bone carving before rotary tools?
Hey Adam, that’s a good question. I believe that saws would be the first step , then rasps and chisels. I know the Inuit people in ancient times used slate as a saw to abrade long channels in tusks and such, then could place wedges to slit out shafts for different things. But I have seen bone saws in scrimshaw tool kits. Chisels and scrapers work quite well, just a little slower then rotary tools.
Hello Brian 👋🏻 that is absolutely gorgeous 👍👍 Do you ever sale the things like that you make ??? And do you have a way to be contacted ??? All the best from Alabama 🌞
Hello Shane, and thank you very much, it’s great to have you with us.Yes l do, the best way to contact me is on messenger. We also have a group called Stockman Original’s Lost Arts and Forgotten Crafts on Facebook.
A good day to you Sir! I realy like your works and videos. It is realy inspirating to me, that you make a lot of things: carving, srimshav, bonecarving, ect. I miself do some of this things as a hobby on a realy amateur level. 🙂 I tought, that I should focus on one, to get results, but seing your videos made me think: I will just make what the muse thels me at the giwen moment. 😁 Thanks again for the inspiration, and the "good wibe" I always get waching your videos!
Ps. If I may ask for a favor: would you make a video sometime in the future, in wich you show yous earrings in detail?
I am not a native english speaker, so sory for the gramar errors!
Yours sincerly: Pohl Péter
Pohl Peter , so happy to have you with us, we really appreciate your support! I say follow your heart and your whim. It’s funny you should mention my earrings because I have a plan to do just that, it will be a while so be patient, but in the meantime we have some more fun stuff coming your way.👍
@@StockmanOriginal Realy happy to hear that! 😁 Will wach al of them whit pesure! 🙂
👍🏼
Where can you get ivory to carve and scrimshaw ?
Hey Shawn, thanks for watching. The only thing I can tell you is keep your eyes open in antique shops for things like Q-balls or piano keys, both of which used to be made from ivory. Most ivory is prohibited from trade,such as elephant, as it should be. But reperpo
Sorry I must’ve pushed the wrong button. Re-purposed antique items are the best direction to go in.
Where do you get whale teeth?
OMG, Doug- that’s a tough one! Mostly by chance, I’m sorry to say. Occasionally in antique stores if you’re lucky, but they are running out. It’s prohibited to import ivory into the U. S. so whatever is still kicking around is up for grabs, but getting pricey.
