Question: Finding scroll patterns

[Jericho]

:thinking: I am wondering what is a good place online or a book or something of the sort to find good scrollwork patterns. I can draw my own but I would rather be using that time to draw animals and such for my projects. If anyone has any suggestions they would be much appreciated.

What type of objects are you engraving? This would give us a good direction to start you.

There are plenty of scroll designs in various books by dover. I've used quite a few of them to quickly and easily create bracelet designs

Other than that, I personally have a room full of various books that I use for inspiration. Starting with Ron Smith's two books and Lee Griffith's book and dvd.

Jericho, I don't know exactly where you are looking for, but I have 22 scroll designs for purchase on Tira's website.
Here is the link: http://www.engraver.com/designs/

they come in pdf format as vectors

Sorry, I should probably have mentioned that I mainly work with knives and firearms (both metal and stockwork) Currentley I am working on the sides and barrels of an antique coach gun. I would like to frame the owners name on the side with some scrollwork. I realize there are many styles for many different types of items. I'm sort of just looking for a general database.

sam alfano, our benevolent landlord sells a dvd on scroll development he also sells these dvd"s in a downloadable form i tried a downloadable version of the wax transfer methods he employs. it wont load on my system, so i'll be getting same on a dvd. of the instructional material sam offers, it's all very good material and easy to absorb..
