That "scrimshander" may not have "scrimshawed" on
In Response To: Re: It is scrimshawed BONE .... ()

... African elephant ivory if he is in New England or in Palinland, grin but rather whale bone or walrus tusk. I've been to a few meets (International Ivory Society) where these guys can tell you blindfolded what they've got. I will agree it's SCRIMSHAW, though... and not carvings.

You carve wood, not ivory... IMO. grin
