Scrimshaw will be done by hand, using a stylus, not laser etching.
The materials that work best for scrimming are buffalo horn, ivory (expensive, I know), and polymer faux ivories. I have done paper micarta before, with good results, but it required a whole lot of extra work to keep the ink from actually bleeding into the surface of the material. I might would have to charge slightly more for anything that requires a lot of prep work, etc. I would test the backside of a panel to see if this is the case, and notify you if I think it might be extra work, or worst case, a no-go.


The design would be the one I designed, the oval with the 1911 in it, that's on the supporter tag avatar.

The work can be done in black or white.

I'd try to do these for $50 shipped CONUS if y'all are interested.

If you think you would want a set, post up, and we'll make it official.


Thanks guys. If I think of anything else, I'll edit this post.

Jason
