Please take a look at my photos of the various styles of custom scrimshawed TRCs from the first four categories below. As you browse through my photo albums you will run across some photos of Grained Ivoroid TRCs. These are the ones that are very yellow in color with straight, fake grain lines. While representative of my work please note that I no longer work with this material - I work exclusively with genuine ivory. ~ Ed Weber
1. Name & Border
A truss rod cover with your name or text with a lined border and scroll or vine & leaf enhancements. This name and design is etched into the ivory much like engraving is done.
2. Personalized Name & Border
The same as a Name & Border but with the added element of something that has personal meaning to you.
3. Scene
A scene is anything from pictures of birds, countryside, animals, river fishing, etc. The sky’s the limit. More often then not I will come up with a scene that expresses what is in your mind’s eye. Optionally however, you may submit a photo of the scene you would like me to do.
4. Portrait
A portrait is an exact likeness of a person or favorite pet. I will need you to send me a photo via email or you can send me a hard copy. Be sure the photo is sharp and in focus.
5. Miscellaneous Art
Various forms of art work that do not fit into the categories listed above. The pieces I call Woodenware were made with the use of a belt sander, band saw, and dremel tool. More pieces will be added soon.
All photos submitted to me will be returned promptly.
