How do you come up with those great patterns for the engraving?!

I had a bone scaled W&B, really wanted to do some scrimshaw on it. And sat there for a long time thinking/imagining with a blank piece of paper... nothing. Couldn't do it. Can draw quite well, have painted, done carvings... but this I could not do. Drew a blank.
Looks great. I'm a bit envious.

It mostly comes from the pattern of a vintage french razor, found in the book of M. Jardella, originally in silver scales.
Adapted it a little, draw it on paper till it fits correctly.
You can also find beautiful patterns on some vintage heljestrand scales :
However, it's more difficult to make a scrimshaw on bone, because it's more porous

Oh those are beautiful! Okay thank you for the tip. I think I'll head to the library and look into books on art designs, vintage and older and see what I can find. Celtic knots and old sailors tattoos... see what I can piece together.
Yeah bone.. porous. Maybe need to sand it very smooth...
I've got broken ivory scales, cut them for a shorty and scrimshaw...? Hmmm

I have the same one that I rescaled in white acrylic. It's my favorite shaver. Originally Posted by wayne394

New blade for the frameback cut out and rough ground to shape. Will do the detail work with files when I get back at it.
