turning or carving a scroll?
How do I go about laying out and then carving a scroll. A scroll as in violin or bass top. I want to make some fancy shelves with scroll type supports. I'd really like to do this with a router, but could do it with a sureform with supports mounted in lathe. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Don't need a desertation on the Golden or logrithmic spiral ha. I know everyone has see these on building facsods(sp). I think it would be neat-not neat enough to hand chisel though.Thanks-Paul

Hi
I have never actualy done a scroll, but I keep going through it in my head, and I think it wouldnt be that hard to do.
I would do it with carving chisels. Must try it one day.
Cheers, Allan

turning or carving a scroll
Thks ozzie winner,after mulling it around in my mind, I can use a copier(zerox) to print out a scroll and glue it directly to a suitable wood work piece. I always think of a scanner as being part of a computer-doesn't have to be however.Whenb one lives in a cave, its hard not to have tunnel vision-ha,Paul

This site has lots of pics of what sounds like a similar project to yours. He carved the scrolls on the corbels for his mantlepiece.
Be warned though, you'll either be wildly inspired, or will suffer from a huge attack of the inadequacies after wandering through some of this guys stuff!!!

There's lots of pics, so it could take a while to load.
