Try www.outwater.com or 1-800-631-8375. They have a huge catalog - including wood appliques, moldings etc

Thanks for those sources. I checked them out and none have a realistic (rather than stylized) version of a scallop shell. If you know if any other sources, I would appreciate it.

This is what I am looking for.

Sue,

I can't really help you but I would also suggest double posting this question on the Home Decorating Forum. Some of them don't read this one, and there are lot's of decorating gurus there that do this type of thing also.

Oddly of all places, I saw some decorative wood appliques at Joann's Fabrics the other day. Not sure I saw any shells, I just remember being suprised to see them in there way back in the wood craft department.

This is sooo late but I saw one at Inviting Home (www.invitinghome.com) listed under Rosettes called Providence Shell Wood Carving - OY4
