    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.
    isn't real ivory but a plastic imitation, the visual effect is very very close to the real ivory.
    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

    Thanks Celticcrusader as you know Rugby isn't the most popular sport in Italy
    but the interest is growing and beating France has been very important for us
