All the scrimshaw for sale is from ethically sourced fossil ivory, Fossil walrus and mammoth ivory.
The Fossil walrus tusk is dug up in Russia and Alaska. This material is tens of thousands of years old, and will sometimes be the remains of an Inuit artifact. These artifacts were most frequently ancient fire starters, sled runners, net sinkers, and harpoon catches.
The mammoth is a prehistoric relative to the present day elephant, and has been extinct for thousands of years. Mammoth tusks are found in the tundra of Alaska and Siberia. Mammoth are extinct so they are not on CITES as the trade can not endanger the species. All the fossil ivory is pre CITES (1976).
