These pieces of Scrimshaw Art were on display at the joint exhibit of The Art and Craft of South Carolina Knifemakers. The exhibit ran from November 8, 2005 through June 11, 2006 and was located at the South Carolina State Museum, Columbia, South Carolina. I was also a guest speaker on opening day for that event and returned to the show for the 2007 season.


Powder Horn
The powder horn is a Reproduction of a 1700's Pensylvania style horn. The tip is threaded and can be removed for ease of filling.

Hummingbird
This hummingbird has a Mokume setting, inlayed with Elephant ivory. Beads of rhodochrosite, rhodonite, natural amethyst and gold filled with a gold filled clasp.
First Born
Mammoth Ivory Shard from a tusk mounted on a walnut base. It is scrimmed with an African mother and her infant child. Behind her are hieroglyphics on the wall and beyond the wall is her husband standing near a tree.


This photo of me with Paul Newman was taken at a charity auction where a pool cue I scrimmed was auctioned off. The custom made "Drexler" cue featured scenes from the original Hustler movie, and was autographed by Paul Newman. The entire $30,000.00 winning bid went to the Hole in The Wall Gang Camp. This is a camp for children with potentially life threatening diseases. More photos of this pool cue can be viewed in the Pool Cue gallery.
