Book - Scroll and Engraving Techniques, Lynton McKenzie
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.

Re: Lynton McKenzie Book, Engraving Smoke Prints and Techniques
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. |

Re: Lynton McKenzie Book, Engraving Smoke Prints and Techniques
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. Jim Wright |

Lynton McKenzie Book
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.

Re: Lynton McKenzie Book, Engraving Smoke Prints and Techniques
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! Rainer |
