<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 1739632, member: 111&quot;]This is a studio button, just over 1&quot; in diameter, that I bought at a button show and framed for my Mom 25-30 years ago, scrimshaw by Wahaba Heartsun on a nicely polished disc cut from the side of the antler (I bought my brother a burr slice with a lion at the same time) - and antler will certainly crack if it gets soaked and dries too fast.&nbsp; Can&#039;t really see any reason that the inset piece couldn&#039;t be antler too...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]238299[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]238300[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This new antler pendant shows some cracks on the surface:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]238325[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/669981053/japanese-kanji-luck-symbol-antler?ga_order=most_relevant&amp;ga_search_type=all&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_search_query=antler+scrimshaw&amp;ref=sr_gallery-3-3&amp;organic_search_click=1&amp;frs=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/669981053/japanese-kanji-luck-symbol-antler?ga_order=most_relevant&amp;ga_search_type=all&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_search_query=antler+scrimshaw&amp;ref=sr_gallery-3-3&amp;organic_search_click=1&amp;frs=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/listing/669981053/japanese-kanji-luck-symbol-antler?ga_order=most_relevant&amp;ga_search_type=all&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_search_query=antler+scrimshaw&amp;ref=sr_gallery-3-3&amp;organic_search_click=1&amp;frs=1</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding the oval pendant, would think if elephant ivory, it would show some Schreger lines as on the tusk slice, agree the images are not ideal, and will admit to failing eyesight, but I just don&#039;t see any Schreger lines, though the back appears to show pretty clear saw-marks.&nbsp; At 1-3/8&quot; wide, seems it could be a slice from high quality antler/staghorn (likely from a Sambar deer), but certainly couldn&#039;t say for sure...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]238298[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.knifehandles.com/stag-horn-and-bone" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.knifehandles.com/stag-horn-and-bone" rel="nofollow">https://www.knifehandles.com/stag-horn-and-bone</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>An antler scrimshaw pendant of similar size and shape:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]238329[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]238330[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Hand-Crafted-Color-Scrimshaw-Deer-Antler-Tall-Clipper-Whaling-Ship-Necklace/283426925345?hash=item41fd8fab21:g:5iMAAOSw4jxb8DxV" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Hand-Crafted-Color-Scrimshaw-Deer-Antler-Tall-Clipper-Whaling-Ship-Necklace/283426925345?hash=item41fd8fab21:g:5iMAAOSw4jxb8DxV" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/Hand-Crafted-Color-Scrimshaw-Deer-Antler-Tall-Clipper-Whaling-Ship-Necklace/283426925345?hash=item41fd8fab21:g:5iMAAOSw4jxb8DxV</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
