The brass goes so well with the beautiful colour and marble of the wood of the box. The engraving tool shown in the closeup .. which GRS one is it? Again, absolutely outstanding work!

Sorry that it took me so long to answer. For some reason I didn't get a notice about a new comment. I don't know any online places that teach the scroll drawing per se. GRS does have 'regular' 1 week courses for scroll drawing. This year I think Ron Smith himself taught it. But if you didn't know about it, the iGraver forum (http://igraver.com/forum) is superb resource for everything related to engraving. Many worlds DJackson. Sorry that it took me so long to answer.

The book I use for design is Ron Smiths "Advanced Drawing of Scrolls", which is considered THE book of scroll design. Although it says 'advanced' it was IMO quite OK to start with it. Ron Smith has one beginner level design book too, called "More on Scroll Design", which is prelude to "Advanced", but I've not seen it myself. "More on scroll design" is available from FEGA (Firearms Guild Of America) - http://fega.com/prodserv/booksSC.asp?categoryparam=book "Advanced" book is available from GRS - http://grstools.com/b-ldd.html FEGA had the "Advanced" book, but seems they are out of it now. I'm not sure about GRS. I've heard that they soon release new edition of this book (just minor fixes), but you'd have to call them and ask. It's quite esoteric book and you won't get it from any major sellers or libraries. AFAIK only FEGA and GRS sell them. Good luck! DJackson, thanks for your comment!

I'm trying to find some good resources in drawing floral patterns like this. If you could let me know and I'll hunt down that book. I'm really starting from scratch. Your design work has been truly amazing. Thanks! I was curious…What design book is that you are using? I’m trying to find some good resources in drawing floral patterns like this.

I've discovered it some mounths ago and I enjoy reading it, I really like to see how you are improving day by day. I'm a programmer too, but I'm not good at manual work, so I have to choose something else if I want to change life :-) I really like your blog and your new job!
