The artwork was originally hand etched by Bill Feeney. Hereceived a Bachelor of Arts degree in Mathematics from Saint Francis College in buyerford, Maine, In 1973 I accepted a teaching position at Westport High School where Imet Robert Rayno, the art teacher. As part of the class curriculum, he taught a section on scrimshaw. I sat in on many of his classes and purchased the necessary tools and ivory to begin etching. Combining my natural artistic ability with the techniques learned from Mr. Rayno, the cornerstone of "Spouting Whale" was established.

Each knife is hand etched, and there will be some minor differences between each knife.
