Thanks again,..here is an antler carving or 2. Interestingly enough my #1 bucket list item is to visit the Hamburg Museum. They have the largest collection of Napoleonic War bone ship models on the planet. I consider those things to be the coolest items ever made 😀.......I have both books on the subject. My #2 item is much closer to the house,..not ship related but the craftsmanship is still world class. It's Mooney Warther's train carvings in Ohio. Some of you are very familiar with the Hamburg Museum I'm sure. -Aaron https://thewarthermuseum.com/collection The whale and compass rose scrim on the moose palm needed a much heavier coat of wax before starting the engraving process. It would have prevented the "muddy look" and the images would have been cleaner,..oh well live and learn. I just tell people I as shooting for a vintage authentic looking piece

Thank you gentleman for the welcome,..here is a little scrimshaw sample. I'll try to dig up some carvings later this evening. I work on the powder horns with a guy named Bill Smith,...but the scrimshaw is something I do alone here at the house. - Aaron

Been lurking a while,...have an ever growing interest in scale modeling in general. Fixing to take a swing at a few different types. I enjoy nautical/whaling history and subject matter. I do a little antler and bone carving,..work on some powder horns,..do a little scrimshaw among other things. It varies 😏 I've enjoyed the gallery here on several visits,...you guys are very skilled. - aaronc
