    a work in progress.

    i found a nice antler on a big red deer on exmoor last autumn,so not being one to miss an opportunity i made the most of the fresh carcass and had ,amongst other things ,the antlers.

    so last week i shaped and carved the handle shape and today i set about doing some scrimshaw,not the best i know ,but my eyes int what they were!

    its supposed to be a Norwegian whaler circa 1860,set in the Arctic ocean with arctic tundra in the background.



    thanks for looking.

    Like you said, i think a nice hand forged one would look real good.

    What is that your putting into the cuts after they've been carved?
