Bone, Laser, Skrimshaw?

[thirdeye]

Well today is still "weekend" for me but I just could not wait to get back in the shop. Intrigued by Phil's (Luvmysuper) question and inspired by my road trip yesterday along the Connecticut shoreline, seeing a ton of Maritime artifacts and many Scrimshaw pieces my brain went into overdrive.
I grabbed an old blade and cleaned it up. Found a chunk of bone and hacked away at it until I found a set of scales inside of it then hit the switch on the laser and poof, a few hours later Scrimshaw on a set of bone scales.

Ray,

I'm absolutely amazed at the work you're doing at the moment.

Love it.

btw I know you're busy with razor related stuff but have you thought about some non-razor work, cataracts, mole removal, eye correction.....

Dude.... 'the ****?

That is amazing. What would it cost to get a set of scales like that?

 

[John C]

Very beautiful work Ray!!
you're really beginning to strech the legs on that machiene.

 

[honed]

That is just so cool, not only the obvious skills you must have to make a thing like that, but the sheer imagination it takes to come up with it!

 

[Chimensch]

Truly outstanding work!
