I am Roger Hopper, a Scrimshaw artist since 1983. I use fossil ivory from the Wooly Mammoth and Mastodons that have been extinct for more than 10,000 years as well as man-made materials to create original carvings and scrimshaw etchings. I then use the original piece to develop a mold from which our polymer reproductions are hand cast. By using only fossil ivories and man-made materials we can honestly say "These Scrimshaw products truly do not endanger any wildlife."

Many of the products you will see are the result of combining two totally different art forms, Sculpture as well as Scrimshaw. The combining of these two art forms result in some of the most beautiful and unique Scrimshaw reproductions available today...and because of our process...some of the most affordable as well.

We have tried to be as accurate as possible in providing you with images that show our pieces in true-to-life size on the individual product pages you view.

When we say "shown at actual size", this is true.

However, some items may appear larger or smaller depending on individual computer monitor and system settings which is why we also provide you with the actual physical dimensions of the piece.

We hope you enjoy our site and hope to hear from you soon!
