6. Lahaina Scrimshaw

LAHAINA.   In the old days of whaling, sailors passed the long months onboard the ships by carving small trinkets out of whalebone - an art form known as "scrimshaw." The owners of the Lahaina Scrimshaw store in Maui offer jewelry, knife handles, letter openers, sculptures and other objects engraved with all kinds of Hawaiian and maritime images, including ships, whales and island landscapes. Antique whalebone carvings are available, but most modern pieces are made from fossil walrus tusk.   (© 10Best)
