I'm doing a fairly shallow base relief carving here. These ivory grips are relatively thin, so we don't want to take too much material off of them. For this type of project I prefer hand tools to power tools., for the better control.

Sometimes you just don't have the right tool, so you have to make do with what you have! Part two off carving model 1911 pistol grips: Making a tool to cut the border around the screw holes.

I'm carving eagles onto the grips of a 1911 for my client. The first step laying down the design using graphite. As I've often said, one of the most important tools I have is a pencil!

This antique quill pen cutter, or trimmer, works perfectly. Brian just had to figure out what it was. It was a bit of a mystery at first, you see. It's always inspiring when you find an old tool, the purpose of which you don't quite know at first. Someone designed this tool, made it to work. And it does work.

This capote, a traditional French trapper's coat made from a wool Whitney blanket, goes well with Jim's Coonskin hat, which we covered in a previous video. These capotes were worn by French trappers in what was then the northwest, now the great lakes region of the United States and Canada.

Scrimshaw carving is an ancient art dating back to prehistoric times. Scrimshaw is essentially scratching lines into bone, ivory, tusk, or horn, and then filling those in with ink. Brian Stockman is a master carver who has practiced scrimshaw for more than 45 years. Brian is a scrimshander. In this scrimshaw tutorial you will learn how to prepare an ivory whale tooth for carving and then how to carve a whale. Of course, not everyone has a whale tooth hanging around for scrimshawing, and anyway there are laws governing ivory, particularly elephant ivory, that you can research on your own. You can sometimes find existing ivory in antique stores: elephant, walrus, warthog, hippopotamus and even mammoth tusks; and whale and elk teeth. "Existing" being the key word. You do not need ivory to scrimshaw, though. You can scrimshaw on antler (moose, deer) and bones. Turkey bones are a great material to practice scrimshaw on. You can even use cow bones sold cheaply as dog chews.
