Today, Scrimshaw is still practiced by master scrimshanders (the scrimshaw artist) and their work is highly sought after and collected. Perhapsrepparttar most noted collector was President John F. Kennedy, who even displayed many of his most cherished pieces of ivory scrimshaw inrepparttar 115982 Oval Office ofrepparttar 115983 White House. The greatest masters ofrepparttar 115984 craft to have ever picked up a scribe are working today. Their techniques andrepparttar 115985 modern-day masterpieces they create have contributed greatly torepparttar 115986 increasing collector’s value of this significant and historical American art form. This isrepparttar 115987 era ofrepparttar 115988 finest masterpieces ever produced in scrimshaw.

No animals are harmed asrepparttar 115989 result of work by responsible scrimshanders. Most srimshaw is done on shed antler, bone, horn, legal elephant, antique piano keys and fossil ivories. The fossil ivory is fromrepparttar 115990 ice age giant,repparttar 115991 Wooly Mammoth, or ancient fossil mastodon or walrus tusk, making it ecologically ideal forrepparttar 115992 traditional 14th wedding anniversary gift of ivory. Horn scrimshaw is most often seen on black powder hunting horns. The rare and beautiful woods used byrepparttar 115993 artist are primarily black Ebony from harvest farms near Makassar onrepparttar 115994 island of Sulawesi Selatan, Indonesia, and equally magnificent Ironwoods fromrepparttar 115995 African continent.
