by Patrick E. Spielman, Kerry Shirts
Category: Crafts & Hobbies

Can you follow a line with a scroll saw? Then use these patterns to make incredibly realistic, three-dimensional pictures of animals, birds, boats, and people! All it takes is segmentation - a unique procedure that consists of sawing a series of small, manageable, individual pieces. Stain each one according to directions, and when you're done, glue them together to create a whole picture. A simple design becomes a striking piece of art, with marvelous colors, tones, textures, and shadows. Co-written by Patrick Spielman, one of the world's most respected woodworking authors, and by Kerry Shirts, the leader designer, this groundbreaking book presents all the techniques needed to make this 'wood art'.
