Scrimshaw, the art of engraving on ivory, can be done on a wide range of materials including elephant ivory, hippo ivory, walrus ivory, fossil mammoth, and many of the hard plastics or imitation ivories now used for knife and gun grips.

Almost any design you have in mind, from your pet dog to your coat of arms, can be done and mounted on your gun, knives, jewelry, or just as a display piece.

Prices can range from $20 to many hundreds of dollars depending on the size, detail, and style of the engraving.

Turn around time is about two weeks.
