Scrimper, having read the above I looked at your site and saw your section on the Lord's Prayer. For your (or anyone's) interest, there is an example of this in the Scottish Fisheries Museum in Anstruther. I saw it last year and was seriously impressed. I don't have any details of the person that scrolled it though.

Eric it is indeed a very impressive piece of work - although the one in your picture is not complete, if you look at the one on my website the original has a very detailed frame around it which improves the item enormously.
My late grandfather was an excellent fretworker back in those early days and he cut out of these which as a young lad I always admired so much when I visited him. I have no idea what happened to it. Even as a boy I was interested in the hobby and we had a copy of Hobbies weekly delivered right up until it's demise at the end of 1965.
