50% off!   Through the years we have sent Pam McKenzie half the amount of sales of Lynton's smoke prints book.  I would like to help her more as Lynton was another father figure for me who helped me when I was getting started in my early 20s. The price of the book is normally $110 and Pam and I split that. The Black Friday Sale price is 50% off: $55. All of the $55 will be going to Pam.

This book was assembled by Pam (Lynton's widow) using smoke prints that Lynton had made from his work throughout the years, including some shared with Don Patch. 

Pam then sent the prints to me, which I arranged and had printed in book form from a local printer in Kearney.

The smokes are pulled from Lynton's engraving work, including knives by Lake, Hoel, Osborne, among others and Custom Firearms by diverse makers such as Michael Ehinger, Daniel Frazier, Ed Weber, Martin Hagan, Freedom Arms and David Miller.

Best Regards, Steve Lindsay  

Please note: Lynton's scroll designs are for studying techniques and inspiration and not designs to copy for engraving projects.

Scroll and Engraving Techniques ~ Lynton McKenzie
Compiled by Pam McKenzie, Steve Lindsay and Don Patch

This study book of Scroll and Techniques illustrates a large cross section of Lynton McKenzie's work.  It covers both his early and late work, in no particular order, and shows how his unique style evolved over time into the distinctive work by which he is known.  Lynton made a historical record of his work by making smoke prints of his engravings.  These are better for study than a photograph since smokes are direct prints right off the original engraving.  Some of the prints were taken during the engraving process and engraving after outlining, background removal and then shading. These scroll prints are enlarged 1.5 times in the book to aid in study of the engraving cuts.  There are thirty-four pages of smoke prints.  On one page will be the prints as they appear, and on the facing page there is a negative image for ease in viewing.

There are several detailed sections with drawings and sketches covering engraving techniques written by Lynton McKenzie himself.

The smokes are pulled from various works, including knives by Lake, Hoel, Osborne, amongst others and Custom Firearms by diverse makes such as Michael Ehinger, Daniel Frazier, Ed Weber, Martin Hag, Freedom Arms and David Miller. 

The book is spiral bound, in black and white and while not a coffee table show book it is a unique and indispensable addition to any Fine Gun Library and will hold a special place in the studious engravers' bench reference material.

The 52 page book has 16 pages of how-to information for H&C engraving written by Lynton. 34 pages of enlarged engraving prints that Lynton made of his work.
