Pastime hobbies don’t have to be boring. Why not take up scrimshaw – a favorite pastime for whalers in the late 1700’s that involved etching intricate maritime visuals on wood and whale bone. Revive this art form with your very own scrimshaw kit that contains the essentials along with an instruction book. You get a bone handled pocket knife, a harden steel scribe, bamboo tracing tool, carbon paper, fine steel wool, ½ dram India ink and ink applicators. All you need to create your own designs… hopefully not on actual whale bone. $48.50
