Scrimshaw Tutorial by ~EskimoScrybe is a wonderful tutorial that explains the techniques needed to create this native art of engraving designs onto hardened materials.This craft that was once commonly used by whalers is still in use today by native Alaskan Indians that utilize materials acquired from the game they fish and hunt.EskimoScrybe is a Inupiaq Eskimo of the Tikigaqmiut, from the far north of Alaska within the Arctic Circle.Her gallery well worth a visit to see more of these native crafts. Thank you for sharing!

Hey! Looking to get into this, but I'm wondering how the reverse scrimshaw is done? I can't find any good info online, but it looks very cool!
