My first attempt plus Scrimshaw!

Artemis.My first attempt plus Scrimshaw!
Hi folks,
I haven't posted here for a while, as I've been a bit busy of late!
I started investigating firearms engraving a few years back, being lucky enough to get some initial direction from one of the very best engravers in the world. Within a short space of time I also discovered scrimshaw and was soon seduced to the 'dark side'!
Since that day, I have been producing scrimshaw, embellishing everything from pistol grips to knife scales.
I'll have a stand at the UK knife show this year, where I'll be demonstrating some of the techniques, so please do drop by and say hello if you're in the area!
Although I am in no way a knife maker, I've always had a desire to give it a go!
So, here's my first attempt...
Of course, then it looked a bit naked...
And now... it just looks nude!
All the best,
Artemis.

D HumbargerGreat work! I like the mosiac pins & file work. What is the handle material? Most folks won't know the difference between naked & nude. Unless they have some background in art.

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

Apologies for photos... one day I will learn to use my camera properly!
I'm hoping that as this is art, it doesn't break any forum rules.

When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere.
NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR.
I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process.
