I wish I had the talent to scrimshaw them myself like Bill does. If things were different and there was a bright future for utilizing that talent on my cues I’d try to learn.I have met Bill Schick's god daughter many times and she has told me of cues that he gifted her at times in her life. Lots of scrimshaw and ivory. I have begged and done everything to see them to no avail. She did say if she sold them while Bill was alive he'd never speak to her again.. I can just hear Bill saying that to her so I have no reason to doubt her... Dying to see those cues though!!
Honestly I do not know if Bill performed the scrimshaw himself or sent it to an artist. I'll ask when I see her again. With Covid that may be a while.I wish I had the talent to scrimshaw them myself like Bill does.

Have always admired Bill’s work. They play great too of course.
I've never know Bill to send a cue to someone else for the scrim work.Honestly I do not know if Bill performed the scrimshaw himself or sent it to an artist. I'll ask when I see her again. With Covid that may be a while.
