NICE! Tell us about the inlay! Scrimshaw Ivory? Very good job!

Quite an impressive transformation. The scrimshaw work really adds a cool detail to the whole piece. Nicely done.

Very nice. Hamlet holding Yorick's skull is a very nice touch. Excellent job.

You did a fine job, I like the shape of your scales well done. PS and congratulations Italy beating France in the Six nations.

Hi Sharptonn Thanks for your kind words.

As I said it's my first scrimshaw so I have to improve my technique.
I used very simple tools: a bulino and needles of different size then knife, chisel and dremel
to inlay it
