Default Acanthus Carving
Somewhere I read or someone told me that there was a computer program to draw
and lay out acanthus leave for carving. I can carve them, but suck at laying
them out. Has anyone heard or know of a program?

Try clicking on SEARCH at the top of this page & enter: acanthus leave
You'll find plenty of hits.
