Couldn't you use scrollsaw patterns?

Robbert - You obviously have a computor. Get yourself a halfway decent graphics program and turn almost any picture into B&W line art. There are literally millions of pieces of clip art available on CD from which you can make line drawings. If that's not enough get a scanner and make your own. ($200 will buy you a pretty good one)

Click on this link http://www.copernic.com and download the search engine onto your computor. I just typed in wooden spoons and came up with about 60 sites.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for all your help with great ideas.
The only question i have is that i am sort
of new to computer set up,how do i go about
changeing,the clipart that i have into to
line drawings ,i have a windows 98 system.
Also as well i have a scanner and a number
of graphics software that i am not quite
sur how to use.
There is one thing i hope this great service
can also assist me with, i design and make
my own woodcarving knives, but i can not
find a supplier in Aust that stocks the
Warren Cultery spare blade blanks that fit
into their interchangeable handles,these
would be ideal to use as stock in my knives.
They were mentioned in the last issue of
carving illustrated magazine,America,as well
as these blades do you know of anyone that
stocks bent or crooked blade knives or
even just the blade here in Aus.
Thanks for your help,keep up the great work,
Robbert,C

You can use computer graphics program. You need to convert the pic to grayscale 8 bit. Once youve done that just use a feature called edge detect and it would give you an outline drawing. If you post something here I could give it a go and you could save it and print it out if you like.

Another alternative is to just use carbon paper to tranfer a design straight onto you timbre if its applicable.

Have fun!
