    How to Scrimshaw, Volume 1: A Beginner's Guide to the Art of Scrimshaw
    by Andrew Perkins
    Learn how to scrimshaw without knowing how to draw, using two hundred year old techniques of the whalemen with easily accessible modern tools and materials! While the whaling industry has ceased to exist, the art form of the whaleman continues on into the twenty first century. Using ancient mammoth ivory, natural "vegetable ivory" or other materials, you can create beautiful works of art the way the sailors did, without needing to lean over the port bow! A great way to de-stress, scrimshaw will bring you into a world of art you may never have thought possible to achieve.
