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.
