With 78 realistic and ready-to-use scroll saw patterns for fascinating creatures, from exotic predators to familiar backyard friends, the inspiration is endless for scroll sawyers of any level. Each animal can be cut as a single, freestanding piece of wood. The authors include advice for beginners on getting started, with expert scrolling tips and techniques plus advice on wood preparation, blade selection, cutting strategy, finishing, and display options. A full color photo gallery will inspire you with the range of impressive wildlife projects that you can complete with this book.
