Scrimshaw is the art of the Eskimos and the whalers. They began by carving fine lines into walrus teeth and bones, which become complex images. Today, scrimshaw engraving is a recognised art form that delights collectors all over the world - especially in Europe and the USA.

The main part of the book is a practical guide for anyone interested in trying it themselves. The author gives numerous tips on materials and tools and describes each step in detail. Numerous photos of working techniques, work processes and finished works round off this unique volume.
