Fascinating

I love your compilations; I’ve seen many of these scrims on Mike's site. Ken’s pooch is very cute. Wow, those hippo tusks are huge; I have a few, but nothing that big and wide. Ken Young is building quite a collection, an excellent collection, I'd love to email him and have a chat. That Masterdon tusk is superb, wow, what a piece. The smile on your face at the end says it all. The waterfall is just superb.

Loved the Avatar continuously informing us of what you were doing during the demo and why. It made your wonderful demo very interesting and informative to watch. Beautiful work!!!

God has truly blessed you with this extraordinary gift. With much gratitude, thank you so very much for sharing your incredible, beautiful works of art. ❤🙏

Beautiful work, as always. You are lucky you live somewhere where you can still make ivory scrimshaw for profit. Here in Hawaii it is illegal to sell, transport, or work on any form of ivory, fresh or fossil, if it will ever be sold or bartered in any fashion. The eyes get old on us, though, so painting is a good direction.

Truly outstanding, I love this format, fast moving and very enjoyable. I will get back to you tomorrow with an in-depth discussion, there’s a lot to digest. Thanks Regards Rod

Fantastic Work David, thank you very much for sharing both your work and your knowledge!!

that's pyrography, not scrimshaw

Great video. Great job. However, as always, in your performance. Bravo.

I just finished watching the video again, wow. Excellent demonstration of how to do AAA-grade scrimshaw. Yes, I agree the background is where the fine detail goes in these jungle pictures, and it just eats up time. I like the way you used your phone to gather different parts of the scrim and then blend them seamlessly together. The ferns and grass give a real 3D effect. Eleanor was a nice touch and such a cutie; she would make a fantastic mermaid. Thank you, thank you, thank you. As with everything you do, it is always worth the wait. The highlight of my collection. Regards Rod

Hi David 👋, Super, Class 👍💯🔥

Do you/can you use an electric engraver?

Hello David. I am a beginer in this art and couldnt beleive what i saw on this video. It is stunning but now i have a lot of questions. How can i make contact with you. Would appreciate it

That is unbelievable! Amazing work my friend, I’m from Saskatchewan Canada and i carve moose antlers mostly and I thought carving antler was very meticulous but after watching this it gave me a whole different perspective, love it! 👍👍

I learned so much from this video. Thanks! Just ordered some supplies to give it a try.

Stunningly beautiful 👌 👍❤

How do you keep the knife from moving while you scrim?

Hi. Hope is all good.

Not my proudest fap

The colors of Dr. Martins Is Bombay India Ink right for your technique? Thank you

...I was looking for informations and tool to use for bones engraving when I have met your sirens...

This engraving technic is a beautiful discovery for me , does it work on simple bones or only ivory ? Thank you very much

do you never sand after scribing?

so beatiful how you had the baby whale cerest the mother

its so cool, i remember pen and ink, it remeinds me of such. are all your tools manuel?

is it speed up?

do you dot the outline so the lines connect, i really like how you give information about the craft, juxtapose to covet trade secrects

Hi David, first let me say that I appreciate you making and sharing your videos. To be able to watch and hear comments from a true master is amazing. I am in total awe of your talent. Thank you so much for letting us see how you accomplish your artwork. In your videos are you actually scribing while on video or are you just showing the process? I ask because you are using such a light touch that it doesn’t seem to actually be scratching. As a someone who is just starting to scrimshaw I was really taken aback by your question why people who can’t draw want to do scrimshaw. I’m 67 and feel I’m not artistic and definitely and terrible at drawing. In my wildest dreams I can’t imagine scrimshaw at your level. The few pieces I have done people say they like it and are impressed. I’m doing it because it’s fun for me and a challenge. After hearing your question I will start practicing drawing. Thanks again and hopefully I will be able to acquire one of your pieces someday, Bruce

what's the technique you use for stippling? when I tried it, I ended up taking forever just to get barely any shading.

Хорошая работа!

What do you treat the drawing and bone to give it the high gloss?

Is the pin on your tool tapered or some other shape? I would like to learn the cow bone technique, which tool do you recommend? Thank you.

Hi, did you pencil on the initial outline of your drawing or did you scribe that freehand?

Beautiful work! ❤

Wow what a beautiful body of work, very inspiring.

is your scriber a rotary tool? in pictures it looks manual but theres a background noise that might be rotary motor, and it looks like you're barely touching the material - i would have expected more effort required if manual.

Beautiful work !

Fabuleux!!!

Is it important what kind of ink to use? Also, how is the outlines you draw not being whiped of when you whipe the excess ink off? Amazing work!

amazing. I scrimshawed my dog's old chew bone but I can only do simple tattoo designs

I love your work. I can't believe how light you stipple. I can't get any ink to stick if I go that light

I scrimshawed a piece of beef bone that used to be my dog's chew treat. I don't know how hard you're pressing down while carving but I had to really push hard to get any kind of ink to stick. I ended up using a China wax marker to fill in the scratches

You have the best channel on KZbin on which such an informative and thorough analysis of the stages of the scrimshow. Thank you! Очень благодарен Вам!

Спасибо Devid за видео! THANK YOU DAVID FOR THE VIDEO!

Unreal this truly blowsy mind .thank you for doing this video 🇺🇸👍

Thats Good Scrimshaw.

That is beautiful and fantastic

What are you using? Tool wise that is. I ask cause I am doing a beaver skull and I just can't get the color to stay...not sure if it's cause the stipples arent deep enough or what.

I enjoyed seeing the application of color.

Amazing work! 🙀
