The Scrimshaw Workshop
Greetings! Especially to all of my past scrimshaw customers and friends. After 40 years of having The Scrimshaw Workshop in Bar Harbor (18 years out of town on Rt 3 and 22 years downtown” I finally decided to “retire” from having a shop. The Mount Desert Islander did a nice article about me, which you can see by clicking here. For anyone not familiar with my “history”, this article tells the story pretty well.

Remembering my shop
Please take a moment and see this video that a friendly tourist took of my shop!
I am sorry to all of my “old” customers who are sad that my shop in Bar Harbor has come to an end. I will miss all of you folks who repeatedly came to my shop over the years. I really hope that when you come to Maine, you might be able to get to one of my craft shows to come by and say hello!
