"The most complete technical and aesthetic book ever written in the field." A very informative "How To" book, which includes over 200 color photos of this uniquely American art form. Originally written as a training manual for studio apprentices, this knowledge is now made available to all interested artists, scrimshanders, and collectors. This 160-page book is filled with tips, techniques, and insights that both educate & demonstrate the steps to creating authentic, beautiful scrimshaw. Includes a gallery of works by contemporary artists. This step-by-step guide addresses scrimshaw tools, patterns, inking, inlays and a treasure of information not found in any other book. A second book entitled "Advanced Scrimshaw Techniques" is scheduled for release in June 2008, addressing polychrome (color) scrimshaw, power tool scrimshaw, carving, repairs, fakes, etc.Read full review
This is a great reference book to have on hand. I recommend it to anyone interested in the topic.
