Beautiful. I'm was born and reared in Pennsylvania and I have been to New England dozens of times. I used to collect Nantucket lighthouse baskets and they have scrimshaws on each of my basket. It's nice to see that they still do them from cow horns and bones. By the way I moved to Missouri three years ago.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing and watching!

Now I know what to do with that old piano I have been trying to get rid of. Yes, the keys are ivory.

I see your Facebook page in your comments, but not your website. Your KZbin channel is the best!

Thank you! I'm still new at this! My website is www.scoshoppe.com

I was reminded of a necklace and ear rings that my mom owned. They were of scrimshaw carved by a lonely solder stationed in Alaska. They were beautiful, and I loved feeling the etched-in design. My mom was in a Catholic girls' high school during WWII, and as part of a class project, she and her schoolmates became pen-pals with soldiers to boost their morale. So in gratitude, her pen-pal sent her the jewelry he made himself. Now older sister has the jewelry.

GOODNESS! What a very special gift! The Inuit people of Alaska and Canada also carved on whale and Walrus tusks and bones.Beautiful stuff!

I was born in Massachusetts, 15 minutes from Plymouth. I knew about scrimshaw and I always admired it. Those are lovely pieces of scrimshaw. It's a nice art.

Wonderful video, thank you..!!

I'm impressed with any hand carving work, but this blows me away.

[@cabincrafts2239]

His work is museum worthy!

[@dakota1992]

Beautiful works of art. Very nice narrative and presentation. The only constructive advice I have, if I may, is to have close up shots of the intricate items showcased. I recall in a previous video you mentioned you (or videographer) doesn't know how to enable close ups? Please ask Ron or Justine to show you how? Sure would improve, imho, the content of your videos. Many blessings and Merry Christmas! 🎄⛄

[@cabincrafts2239]

Yes, thank you! I understand that. The whole reason we're doing them on our own is because Ron and Justine are so busy. Plus, Ron is a photographer and has professional equipment. We're just using our phone until I can get a better camera. I also stated that I put very detailed pics on my Facebook page because we can't show closeups without making y'all sick. Sorry, but this is the best we can do for now.

Very interesting thank you Kandye.

Thank you for sharing about scrimshaw! I had learned it’s history many years ago as a child on our trips to New England, but forgot some of those points. I appreciate you sharing the history. I have a couple scrimshaw necklaces and love wearing them! Beautiful works of art! Thanks again!

[@cabincrafts2239]

You're welcome! I appreciate your watching my videos!

Beautiful pieces. I always loved scrimshaw.

[@teresaroman3348]

I don't remember ever seeing Scrimshaw. It is really neat. Thank you for the history of this art. They are beautiful.

[@cabincrafts2239]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@brentwentfishing]

This is so cool. Thank you!!

[@cabincrafts2239]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@jenniferdemassimo3012]

Those are beautiful! Maybe one day the artists would like to show a little demonstration on the channel? That would be fun if they are not shy.🙂

[@cabincrafts2239]

I've already thought of that! Harris is in his late 70's and raising a 5 year old granddaughter alone, so not sure if I can get him. Michelle is actually a world renowned artist, so no luck there either unfortunately!

[@annyoung1579]

What an honor it would be to have just one piece of scrimshaw !! Beautiful !!

[@cabincrafts2239]

I agree! Years ago I worked at a restaurant and saved all my pie money for a powder horn. It was one of Harris's and it looks like it should be in a museum!

[@johnduffant9694]

Nice video but when you show things that need close ups have the person with the camera zoom in.

[@cabincrafts2239]

Sorry, this was one of my first videos and we didn't know what we were doing, some of them I had to do solo and this might have been one of those. I've watched KZbin on how to edit and still find it very difficult. The videos that Ron and Justine helped me with were edited by them and they know what they're doing! I'm still learning!

[@johnduffant9694]

I meant no disrespect in any way. I’m sorry if it came across that way. The items look amazing and I just wanted to see it close up. Again I’m sorry for any ill Intent or disrespect. What is your website that you post these items on. Thanks
