And whom might Cary Schwartz be?

Gotta BIL with family by that name that lives up your way... maybe some relation?

Mate, never let a saddler have free rein, you should know that by now.

Yea, I know. At least Cary is pretty good about handing over Artistic License.I sent him the shapes and he did a great job of rendering the scroll design. The Idea of duplicating leather carving in silver still intrigues me. With all the different motifs and interpretations by different craftsmen, there is a never ending supply of new design.Lee Griffiths latest post of the gun he is doing confirms that it might have some real viability as a design resource. So-onward and upwards.

Thanks, Dave,

For the link to Cary's web. I particularly enjoyed his video of the visit to France to meet colleagues.

Can you recommend any other links and books about leather carving designs that would inspire the engraver?

Yes, My friend Bob Park has recently published a book on western style scrolls that might translate to engraving.

Bobs book is great, Clinton Fay also has done "the" book on Sheridan Style Carving, I use both religiously. Ty
