Artist Engraver: John Vukos

   John Vukos is an accomplished man.
Thirty years ago while he was making banjo's and mandolins John took on another interest, engraving.
He honed his talents through the years and found he enjoyed engraving traditional designs on period guns as well as bulino and modern designs on knives and modern firearms.
During this time he discovered he could move his skills to a new medium, the art of scrimshaw. As your eyes behold the beauty transferred from Johns hands to steel or ivory you will see why I titled this section Artist Engraver.

About the man...
John recently retired from Kimberly Clark where he held a position as Senior Scientist which has enabled him to devote his attention to engraving full time.
Somehow John managed some free time to indulge a few hobbies!
A passion for flying led him to earning his pilots license but he didn't stop there, he has flown two experimental planes which by the way he built himself.
John also has an ear for music as he likes to play the banjo, guitar, English concertina and mandolin. For exercise he has achieved a 3rd degree black belt in the art of Karate and with an eye for good wood he has enjoyed building Queen-Anne style furniture. Oh did I mention, he holds 16 U.S. Patents too.
