Talk:Scrimshaw

message: I've seen American Indian works in this technique, but I'm really not well aquainted with this type of work, hence I came here to learn more.  However it strikes me that this entry may not be inclusive enough.  Anyone know more?
:Well, work created by Native Americans rather than whalers would be with the same materials but wouldn't be scrimshaw (which is the art of whalers in the 19th and 20th centuries), same as tabua aren't scrimshaw even though they are also art created with whale teeth (its created by Fijian craftsmen. A specific type of art created with a material would probably deserve it's own page, but I've never heard of a specific whalebone art from the Native Americans.

thread_title:  Just whalers?

message: This article suggests that scrimshaw is no longer practiced since the end of whaling.  Thats far from the truth, there is modern scrimshaw that is indeed practiced (and is not fakeshaw or reproductions, but actual origonal peices) ussually on micarta, camel bone or other materials.  Anyone out there an expert on the subject that can ad a modern scrimsaw section? I may give it a go, but not much I can say. Russeasby (talk) 21:32, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Modern scrimshaw 

message: Has the word "Scrimshaw" ever been theorized as being related to Scramaseax? Seeing as the Anglo-Saxon & viking peoples were seafaring I couldn't see how an obscure origin word like this hasn't had this origin purported at one point or another. Nagelfar (talk) 12:44, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
