Product Description
Guitar picks of ivory, bone, and horn, hand-engraved with scrimshaw
These scrimshaw guitar picks are cut from genuine natural materials, including ox bone, water buffalo horn, fossilized mammoth ivory, ancient walrus ivory, and pre-embargo ivory. Each is hand-engraved by resident artist Brian Kiracofe with an original design.
Choose from twenty-one designs, from a shamrock and music notes to lighthouses, tall ships, the USCG Eagle, and a pirate head, or request a custom personalized pick with your initials. Because every pick is handmade from natural material, shape and design vary slightly.
