		<description><![CDATA[This is a piece by &#8220;P. Hayde&#8221;, a polychrome (color) scrimshaw on whale tooth.  We know the artist&#8217;s name (Philip Hayde) but cannot find any other information, other than the whale tooth below was purchased in Provincetown.  Anyone know of the artist, their whereabouts or other work by them?  Let us know with a comment &#187;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I went slack jawed when I saw this (and that&#8217;s not my usual response to a piece of scrimshaw!) &#8211; this beautiful piece was purchased in Tonopa Nevada at a liquor store between 1977-1980. The seller had said the piece originated in Alaska. The bracelet appears to be sterling silver with the initials AL PL EE &#187;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Scot Kimel, owner of Carolina Custom Scrimshaw &#160; When did you start scrimshawing, and what inspired you to do so? &#160; I began sometime around January 2006. I was visiting Charleston S.C., and they had a few pieces of antique Scrimshaw on display in a museum. I began looking into purchasing scrimshaw from contemporary artists &#187;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just tested out the bone blank &#8211; both the HUT Wax side and the Renaissance Wax side were a disappointment.  The callout shows the area that is magnified in the square, and the ink as well as the paint is embedded in the crevices, so there is not enough wax material to fill these voids.  &#187;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re going to be scrimming the bone blank shortly, and have checked how it came from the manufacturer.  The finish is matte, with typical voids found in most bone material. We start by sanding with a 600 grit sandpaper, sanding &#8220;north/south&#8221;, then move to 1000 grit sanding &#8220;east to west&#8221; so we can see the &#187;]]></description>
