This is a rough layout made from a transfer from the the right side scroll with the main subject added. You will note that the area circled in black is oil leachching onto the the clay and chaulk surface. You can't let this get past you if you for example if you did the layout at night and waited till morning to scribe the pattern it will not be there it will bleach out so to speak. This will occure at any place that two pieces of metal meet, hinge pins, screw holes, etc. You should degrease the piece befor layout, this will stop the leaching. I use transfer paper from Tandy Leather Co. it's used for transfers in leather working. it tough flexible and it's the best I've found.

The second photo is the pattern corrected and enhanced.

The third photo is scribed and again corrected. When you laypout in this fashion you have several chances to correct your design

The fourth photo is a shot of the side and the bottom of the receiver. The pattern works it's way around the sides to the bottom. The scroll flows from one side to the bottom.
