Welcome to the design collection of Hops Scrimshaw finely Detailed Scrimshaw Reproductions & One of a Kind Custom Engravings |
 The Boys and Us My Lovely Wife Joann, does the inking & jewelry assembly, Nick & Jeff in the back, share the jobs of mold making and casting, as well as sanding, polishing, drilling, etc. and of course, the other one is me, I get to put up with all of their shenanigans, but really, the LORD has truly blessed me with a great family and a job where we can all work together. |
We are pleased to present you with a very different and unique
line of wearable wildlife and Native American style jewelry,
art, accessories and sculptures.
Since February of 2014 the fate of Scrimshaw in the US has been unclear.
There were new regulations proposed that would have made criminals out of
anyone who bought, sold, traded and transported any kind of ivory, or any item
containing even the smallest amount of ivory, even guitars that have an
ivory bridge, Bag Pipes with the ivory fittings, antique pianos, etc.
We WERE happy to report there are now bills in both the House and Senate
that protect Scrimshanders and prohibit the US Fish and Wildlife Service
from implementing any new rule, order, or standard regarding the sale and
trade in ivory that wasn't already in place prior to Feb. 25, 2014.
As of Jan, 22nd 2015 we are not aware of any action on these bills.
WASHINGTON STATE INTRODUCES A BILL TO THEIR STATE LEGISLATOR
TO BAN THE SALE OF ELEPHANT AND MAMMOTH IVORY IN THEIR STATE.
On Tuesday Jan. 20th 2015 a bill that would ban the sale of Elephant and Mammoth
ivory in the state of Washington was presented to their Agriculture and Natural
Resources committee.
Boone Trading Co. is located in Brinnon Wa. and has been providing Scrimshaw
Artists all over the US with a wide variety of materials and information on Scrimshaw
for over 25 years, if adopted, this bill would put them out of business.
Washington state is also the home of several of the most outstanding Scrimshaw
Artists in the country, they too would no longer be able to create their awesome artwork.
David Boone, the owner of Boone Trading Co. was planning on being at that meeting
and trying to educate the committee members about the LEGEL ivory trade in the US.
I GUESS NOW WE JUST WAIT AND SEE.
