Is there a special graver geometry for cutting English scroll? I have made some poor attempts. I don't seem to produce satisfactory results.
The dark areas between the scrolls are too small to be made by removing the background with a flat. The background must be removed when cutting the scroll. I use mostly a 105 an sometimes a 120. I have also notices that many of the images of engraving that I have look at have few examples of English scroll. This suggests to me that it must be difficult.
Are there any suggestions for practice patterns?
