It was a boring sunny morning. So I decided to try my first scrimshaw. Never did it before.
The knife handle is deer antler. The Scrimshaw is about 1" by 1-1/2" . I had to leave the sides a little under worked because the surface curves down and I did not want to spoil the look.

What do you think?
