Color scrimshaw on ancient walrus tusk ivory by Matt Stothart. Veteran scrimshander, Stothart, seems to get better and better. His work has been prized by knowing collectors for decades.

Exceptionally large piece of ancient walrus tusk ivory, by the way. Impressive stand completes the picture. Weight: 1 pound, 6 oz.
Black and white scrimshaw on whale’s tooth by Matt Stothart. Aptly named, Flying Cloud, is depicted on the open sea. This is from the collection of someone who is no longer with us.

“King Leo Knife” Color scrimshaw on ancient walrus tusk ivory by Matt Stothart. What an impressive piece-the knife, stand and scrimshaw! Custom knife by well known knife maker Ed Friedly using his “Elmer Keith” style of knife. Just the knife itself is a work or art, but when you add the bocote wood stand by Cash and Stothart’s right on scrimshaw, then you have something special. We don’t get many of these, but when we do, they go fast.
