Portrait on ivory bark of the country duo "Double Heart"
Swallow Bird of the Apsaroke, also known as Crow, lived in Wyoming.  This warrior's unusual hair style was formed by applying white clay.	This tiny piece was my first using a stereo microscope. The girl sits on a park bench in front of a lake. Behind her is a rowboat with two men fishing. One is holding a fishing rod! Though this piece is only 1/2 inch high, it took almost a week to finish. With better tools and microscope, I'm a little faster now...
Hollow Horn Bear. A display piece on fossil ivory measuring about 1 1/2 by 3 inches.
Timeless beauty on a 2 x 3 inch mastodon ivory plaque. [ 1 ]  [ 2 ]  [ 3 ]  [ 4 ]  [ 5 ]  [ 6 ]

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.
