Lahaina Scrimshaw

Scrimshaw, the American Folk Art of engraving or tattooing on whale ivory, is a living tradition, especially for discerning collectors. In the Golden Age of Whaling, scrimshanders (scrimshaw artists) using whale ivory made a variety of objects, from bird cages to butter spreaders to picture frames and dominoes. To help protect endangered species, modern scrimshanders work with fossil ivory over 2,000 years old or more to create their original engravings. In a store that is as old as it is unique, Lahaina Scrimshaw has the island's most complete selection of quality scrimshaw at competitive prices. Genuine whales teeth, men's and women's jewelry, and framed original pieces are available at their stores in Whalers Village, Ka‘anapali and at 845 Front St., Lahaina. Call (808) 661-4034.
