Tried my hand at some scrimshaw...

Looks great. I have that same ceramic boker from when I was a kid. That update give it a great new look.
 
Thanks guys:D
 
Was trying out a faceted point geometry, but had some tracking problems that gave me a little squiggle in the outlines:( Changed back to a round point, and tried out some cross hatching instead of stippling for the background...

Pretty much anything that will take a clean scratch I imagine, so nothing particularly fibrous. I've seen scrimshaw on most of the ivory substitutes, various horn, paper micarta, etc.
