Wythe Co Fraktur scrimshaw
« on: December 31, 2020, 10:51:59 PM »
Played around with scrimshawing a wild Turkey from the wild Turkey artist frakturs found in Wythe County. My initials are in German type and a double “H” in German script for his horn.

Looks good!  I have always found that style of art very appealing.

Did you make the horn?  It turned out very well.  I really like the way the pouring end is carved.
