Scrimshaw, a 19th-century maritime art of engraving on ivory or bone, is still handcrafted today in historic Newport, Rhode Island by resident artist Brian Kiracofe. Brian established the Newport Scrimshander in 1987; he has been engraving nautical scenes on ancient walrus, prehistoric mammoth, and recycled piano key ivory for over 40 years, specializing in Newport scenes and custom designs.
