I have just finished "Scrimshaw: Tools, Tips,
and Techniques", an instructional video.

	In this DVD, I show how to prepare the ivory - cutting, sanding, and polishing. You'll learn how to reduce photos or artwork to fit the ivory surface, and get your initial pattern on the ivory. I'll demonstrate how to make tools and use them to produce quality single-color scrimshaw. Everything a beginner needs to know, and plenty of tips and shortcuts for more experienced scrimshanders. It also includes a DVD gallery of finished pieces. This DVD is $49.95 (and that includes shipping).  Please allow 10 days for delivery.  To order discontinued VHS tapes, please phone 541-332-3010 afternoons or evenings Click to Order

Though you might have to find these in a used book store now, you may want to check out Tom Clancy's "Net Force" series novels - "Point of Impact" and "Cybernation". Written by Steve Perry, they feature a scrimshander named Bob Hergert. Just a coincidence?.....I don't think so.

Steve Perry, who commissioned pistol grips with Dirisha Zuri are featured on Page 1 in the Nudes section.

To get an idea how much a commissioned project might cost, calculate the number of square inches of scrimshaw. Then figure a price of $150 -$200 per square inch. This assumes the model or design is ready or available. Exceptions to this pricing include miniature knives, which must be estimated individually. Cost of ivory is separate. Those who would like a quality knife for a moderate cost might consider the David Boye Prophet Companion. Finished knives with scrimshaw typically run between $600 and $800.
