Book - Scroll and Engraving Techniques, Lynton McKenzie

[Steve Lindsay]

Pam McKenzie and I have recently compiled a book of techniques and scroll prints made by Lynton McKenzie of his guns and knives. It is a wonderful study guide for understanding and seeing how to fill spaces with beautiful scroll that Lynton is so well known for. The techniques section is written by Lynton himself.

Hey guys, I was just at steves and got to take a look at the new book. This book is really going to help with my scroll work. To see the shading and detail of the cuts is awsome!

Thanks Steve,I just ordered mine and am very intersted in getting a look at it. This should be a very good chance to see Lynton close up.

Lyntons published work was one of the reasons I started engraving. I finally met him at the FEGA gathering in Reno many years ago. Lynton took the time to talk shop and give some advice to a newbie.
I look forward to receiving this new offering.

Lynton was a wonderful person who inspired many people. He was a boost to my career in countless ways. I hope and I know Pam hopes that this study book with continue to inspire people for many years.

I was looking through my books and other stuff the other day, sorting the dreck from the diamonds, and I found a book/catalog that I picked up in New Orleans in 1972 or thereabouts. It is from New Orleans Arms and shows alot of Lynton MCkenzie's work.

I didn't even realize that I'd met and taled with him until I found that book.

Beautiful stuff.

I am glad you all had a great time in Reno this year. For some of us getting to this great show is impossible so we do the best we can with teck. manuals. I just got my Mckenzie book on his engraving. I found this book to be a great training book. I have his tapes he made a long time ago and this book just puts everything in place. I have always liked Lynton's work and found this book to be a great addition to my all my books on engraving. It seems Steve's new toys went over great a the show, and why not, they are the best.

I received mine today. It's fabulous. The amount of material in this booklet is amazing. I thought that there might be a 'few' samples of McKenzie's work. Actually, it's a LOT. Lot's to learn and analyze as the depictions are very sharp and detailed. This will be food for thought for quite a while.
Thanks for putting all this together!

I'll have to get one of those, Lynton was such a great man and artist and so very good to this young knifemaker! It will be a treasure to many, I am sure.
