Bone carving on Pendors® pens
Scrimshaw, or bone cutting, is a technique originating in the Hawaiian Islands in the 18th century that requires a steady hand, a strong imagination, and delicate movements. The artist has no room for error, as each small scratch will be forever visible on the deer antlers or the warthog tusks after painting.
The value of Pendors® pens is their dedication. Commitment to the material, the technique and the result. Pens made with the scrimshaw technique spend long weeks in the hands of their maker. By the time the pattern is finished, an invisible bond is formed between the maker and the pen, knowing every millimetre of the pen body.
Pens made with the scrimshaw technique demand humility and precision all the way from turning to the phase of finishing the scrimshaw pattern. The reverence felt during the process of making and the result is simply unrepeatable.
