JOE_M Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Just a couple of quick throwaways - 1. My search for a special vintage fretwork design for a music stand took me to the internet archive. Searching there for "fretwork" brought up quite a few books on the subject, many with old patterns. I'm reading one now from 1875ish. If you're into the old stuff, even if you don't plan on buying a pedal-powered scrollsaw there is some fun stuff to read on that site. 2. Searching google images for design ideas, I clicked a bunch of "view more" links and suddenly everything said chantournage, which apparently is the french word for scrolling - lots of designs there I hadn't seen before.
