You can see what they look like, draw some. Personally I don't care for those lines. For more ideas look at Taku Sakashta's 'f' holes. Soak it all in and come up with a pleasing design. By the way, traditional 'f' holes are easier to bind than the holes without the "nicks" in the middle.

OK, I'm probably making this WAY too easy but it was faster to draw this up than look for it! Zip file contains Illustrator/pdf/300 dpi jpeg

Greg, you might also look at the designs of Bill Moll. They are similar to John's design, but subtly different--smaller holes on the ends and placement on the instrument that is slightly out of the norm. I think they look great.
