So grateful for YT pushing this vid my way. I’ve been looking for how to draw them for ages but didn’t even know the name to search for. Very informative thank you.👍🏻

One of the best explanations I've heard yet. Thank you!!

Thanks; this is great to learn. I was grasping for what the definitive term was for this kind of filigree besides just "scroll". I'm learning carving leather, was not finding enough references under Victorian, and went about a brief goose chase through baroque, renaissance, etc... so much always traces back to the Greeks, doesn't it? It's a serendipitous find since I'm studying Paul's (Saul of Tarsus) time in Corinth and listening to kithara and kinnor lyre music. Ever since I quite unexpectedly found God my life keeps trying to turn into this sort of motif.

Where is the how to carve part?

[@woodcarvingworkshop]

Worldtraveller - An absolutely fair point. I hadn't recognised how misleading the title was and do apologise. I've now corrected the title. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
