DESCRIPTION:
baroque ornament and designs A small book that has a collection of very well drawn designs. These have all been done in a way that makes it very easy to read the contours for carving projects.. Amazing designs and corner elements - let alone exactly what belongs on the forward square of a Yellow Boy or 1873 Amazon Customer One of my all time favorites for firearms engraving -I've run borders (see Dover Book on Borders) into corner elements with astonishing results - and what DO you put on that forward flat area of the Yellow Boy?

While they are still beautiful I would have liked the whole book to be more shaded, three-dimensional designs.
