Scrimshaw Swordfish Bill Pen & Ink K. Henry. “Dreams of Whaling” Photos show Genuine Atlantic Swordfish Bills being hauled from the fishing vessel Destiny, New Bedford, MA, C. 1985, & some of the process creating a finished product. Done entirely by Keith A. Henry, with help & encouragement from above… A labor of love. Interest began in Highschool, 1967 with Scrimshaw on teeth of a now endangered animal that I shall not mention, or the eBay folks and AI may take down this ad. Through the years technique has matured, and times have changed. Pen & Ink is his choice as it can render extremely detailed depictions on these glass smooth, polished sword bones! You’ll want to use a magnifying glass to see the actual detail…and will not be disappointed! This swordbill was sprayed with a special thin fixative so oily fingers will not harm. The wooden butt piece is polyurethane, as is the display board, which part of an 1836 EG Hook & Hastings organ pipe (reclaimed) from Belcourt Castle, Newport, Ri…who salvaged it from St. Johs cathedral, Providence, RI. in the 1950’s. Magnets securing the sword to the display board are Rare Earth, everything perfectly balanced and ready to hang on a nail! The squares in the photos are 1″ x 1″ (appx 25.5″ long) Questions, or comments are certainly invited… Shipped fully insured, usually the next business day. Artist Keith A. Henry also a noted scrimshander in the scarce book: THE SCRIMSHANDER – THE NAUTICAL IV’RY WORKER AND HIS ART OF SCRIMSHAW by William Gilkerson, Troubadour Press, S.F., 1975. At the age of 11 K. Henry received a summer scholarship to Hofstra College, LI, NY, for artistic abilities noted in his local grade school, Levittown, LI. Introduced to Scrimshaw at 15, and encouraged by Westport Highschool art teacher, Mr. Bob Rayno, to work with, and invest in Whales teeth as regulations concerning Endangered Species were finally being implemented. One of 7 US ‘exemption’ certificates was issued, c.1970, for remaining inventory, which has been long expired. Around 1985 a fisherman from Newport, RI, gave him some discarded Swordfish Bills… After some time and experimentation, a method of utilizing these for artistic application was realized. Since then, scuba diving at a New Bedford dockside, (a most unpleasant & disgusting endeavor), and more importantly making a deal with the Capt. and First Mate of the fishing boat “Destiny” to bring back a load of raw Swordfish Bills, or “rostrums”, after a month at sea. They were kept frozen in the ‘refer’ aboard ship. Usually thrown overboard because they take up valuable space. The cost was $300 and one hell of a story to go with it!!! His artwork was never done commercially, as that would “spoil everything,” always done as a hobby and given to family and best friends. (And one to a local Church, St. Lucy’s, in Middletown, RI). Only in the past 10-15 years have they been offered for sale in and the surrounding islands of Newport, RI., eventually on eBay. If anyone cares to try their hand at this type of work, please notify me and I should be able to put a completely ready swordbill for you on eBay, with some instruction. A rapidograph pen with 000, 0000, and 00000 points, and India ink ae available on eBay. These are the narrowest pen points available that can be used, with practice. Only a pencil, straight edge (small piece of plastic) and maybe a compass are needed… or not. You may hear the birds and waves while you work! You decide the wind direction, the tide, and what goes on… There are usually no sailors depicted, my work is created with those great sailors in mind, who live now only in Myth & Memory.
