Hi Jay, Lots of possibilities, but usually when there is a transition in the molding (corners or midpoint along the edge), there is a carved transition detail at that point. The direction of the gadroon switches at these points, (angling towards the outside edges) and there can either be a small triangular shaped detail carved similar to the gadroon shape or a small, simple leaf appearing to be overlapping the molding. I have an example of this for the egg and dart molding that is a separate lesson. Check online for photos of gadroon molding and you should find some examples of these transition areas.
Mary, what a beautiful job you made of the shell, I was enthralled by both lessons, and the butternut was brilliant. My friend in America just recently sent me some large pieces for carving, I adore that wood, nearly all of my love spoons are made of butternut wood.
Thank you Mary for such wonderful lessons, worth every single penny.
