This Keystone block measured 4 1/2 X 4 1/2 X 8 inch including the toss away moldings. I did the front and side profiles allowing stock for the center of the volutes. I like to do as much as I can with the band saw.
In the center of the scrolls there is a 1/8th inch wide groove that I didn't have a chisel for so I made one. I used an old screwdriver ( tempered metal) bent it to the shape I wanted , tempered it , annealed it, then sharpened it . Worked terrific!
To check on the shape of the scrolls I made a quick template out of thin plastic to act as a visual guide.
