Scrimshaw
Scrimshaw is one of the oldest art forms from the early years of our growing country. Sailors would carve pictures and symbols into bone as they passed the time aboard whaling ships. This art has flourished through the years and brings a maritime vibe to any home or office.
Our scrimshaw collection features scrimshaw art by local artist Doug Fine from Maui. Doug’s artwork is etched into letter openers, money clips, and lighters, among other items available in our collection. You will have a hard time choosing your favorite as all his work is beautiful.
We love the tradition of scrimshaw art and the nautical vibe each piece can bring to your home or office. Few artists continue the tradition, and those that do, like Doug, are highly skilled and deeply passionate about their work and preserving the nautical artwork. Each piece comes with a selection of carvings to choose from, so each one is truly unique.
Whether you are giving scrimshaw art as a gift or adding a piece to your own collection, Whaler’s Locker has the high-quality pieces you’ll be proud to own.
