Hello everyone !  
I am attempting to model a violin’s scroll.

 ![IMG_3657](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/shapr3d/original/2X/5/53d03c466371ba9668eb7e9a235dd0d82fbc38bc.jpeg)  
I tried several ways :  
Intersecting and/or substracting an extruded spiral with a coil,  
Replacing faces with a spiral and a frustum, and so on…  
So far, I could obtain those shapes :

This not quite I wanted. I’d like an ascending path, like in Babel’s tower.

I am not sure I am clear enough 😀 !!  
Anyway, I am sure there are some a lot clever than I am around here.  
Best regards.  
Greg.

Actually it looks like you are pretty close. Probably have to carefully section it and use the sweep tool.
