Scrolling usually represents a shaped wood design in a
piece of wood trim or other building materials. The picture below
provides you with an excellent example of shaped pieces of wood at the
end of an open stairway.

Inexpensive Scrolling Creates Attention To Detail
My grandfather made flat cabinet doors, out of variety of different
hardwoods. When I was about 12 years old I went over to visit my
grandmother and grandfather and I noticed that their cabinets had been
replaced.
I started to complement him on the great job he did, when my grandmother
said," Those are the same cabinets, he just added some wood scrolling to
them." Before I started to argue with the wisdom of my grandparents, I
thought for a second, before realizing that she was right.
I never forgot and never will, the impact that $75 worth of wood trim,
made on me that day. If you're willing to open your creative minds to
the ideas of wood scrolling, you could improve almost anything, made out
of wood.
Each one of the pieces of scrolling in the picture above could have been
made out of scrap materials and made with a handful of tools.
