Default Re: Barry Lee Hands... works in progress

First of all a thank you to Steve for posting this and Barry for being so open with his technique! Now a question about the scroll work on the mauser action, I see some shade lines cut following the arc of an adjacent scroll near the center of the image and some to the right side that are just straight cut. Obviously you use both sense that is what is here and was wondering how you approach the use of what where? Coming from an art background I would just intend to use what I thought was needed wherever but wonder if you have a better plan or just look at it as a work of art? I guess the reason for my question is I always tend to feel there is more "order" in engraving than art in general.
