I wish for more videos informative like this one. How to carve bone to create amazing art! Not many making this type of art and its kind of a shame. Thank you so much teaching us

I have some powder horns I have been working on. This is by far the best video I have seen on types of tips and how they cut.. I'm saving this video . I'm wanting to put GPS coordinates on my horns. To hide my secret treasure spots.. Ha! Na. Just my favorite places to hunt or be in the woods. Hoping when I'm gone under somebody will find them and get to see the beautiful wilderness.. Awesome video and beautiful work.. Thanks for sharing!!

Nice Job. waiting for The next one! #great xP

Thank you for your expertise. I’m a casual carver, done wood totems for the kids whittle away only done a couple of pieces. Carved a Celtic heart made out of a hard nut for a girl once. I’m starting to work on bone 🦴 what inspired me was the Māori, Hawaiian style fishhooks necklaces. My comment I’m having a hard time finding good tools. I’ve tried exact knives (too flimsy) i have some knives and chisels, I find rasps and files work best. SELL THE TOOLS. I don’t know if that makes sense but most of these you tube content creators sell merch and this may be a way your audience can get started.

I say az, so good to have you with us! There is nothing l like better than helping folks get into carving. For bone work I make a lot of my tools out of old files, it’s great steel if you can shape them without burning the temper out of them. One of my favorite tools is a triangular scribe which is sharp on all three sides right down to the point. I could make you one if you like. As you develop your skills you’ll realize what tools would be handy. We have a video on scrimshaw tools that might be helpful to you. Maybe someday l could get into making and selling tools on a grander scale but in the meantime I’d be happy to help you with some. Thank you for your interest.

We've added timestamps (Chapters) to the video description to help you jump back and forth to examples of the different scrimshaw tools and techniques.

incredible. I'm wondering how much hand pressure are you applying to the tools and how deep of a cut do you need?

@StockmanOriginal

2 жыл бұрын

Hello Stuart, the pressure you apply depends on how bold you want your marks,it’s not much though. Just takes a little practice.

Hi! Can I practice the technique in any other material, for example turquoise or any other cabochons for jewelry? Thank you 🙏 videos are amazing

Hello Frances, thank you so much for checking us out, we appreciate your support. You will find most stones to hard for scratching on. The best place to find material for scrimshaw other than a whale’s mouth is the local pet store. You are likely to find nice clean bones, antlers, and water buffalo horn there.

how do you test your scribe for sharpness? I'm a beginner and an using a scribe I made out of dowel and a fishhook.

@StockmanOriginal

2 жыл бұрын

Hey Kyle, that sounds like a good idea for a scribe. I usually test sharpness on my thumbnail, that way you will feel it bite in a little. If it slips it’s dull. Thanks for checking us out.

Where do you find usable bone? I have a hard time finding thick bone for my practice. I'm trying to learn to get a hard polished finish.

@StockmanOriginal

Hello John, the best place to find bone, antler, and horn these days is the local pet shop. They sell these things for dog chews.

Please let me know which colors are suitable for your technique and if you allow a shop to buy them. In Europe your technique is almost unknown and I can't find materials. Thank you for everything once again.

Hello Arkas, so nice to have you in our tribe and thank you for joining us. I tend to lean towards the traditional style of the olden days. I use lampblack base pigment in the form of india ink, and walnut tea if I’m looking for a brown. Occasionally the old timers would depict blood by using red sealing wax. The india ink l use is made by a company called Higgins, Pelican is another company that makes good ink. Please let me know how you make out.
