Scrimshaw attempt number 4
« on: November 07, 2008, 05:17:56 AM »
I posted the first attempt at scrimshaw a while back.  Two and Three were a powder horn and primer I did for my father.  I haven't taken any photos of those yet.

This is my powder horn.  I'm not quite finished.  Sorry for the poor quality.  Lighting is hard for me.

Zach,
Every trip starts with the first step. Keep on working at it. I think you are doing fine.

Zach, Has a nice old timey look about it. I like it. I would probably shellac or varnish it, to give the body some color. I read somewhere old timers did that.
