Scroll Saw Portraits:  How to Turn Photographs into Wooden Keepsakes
Scroll saw books are often just a monotonous rehash of the same  old patterns, but every once in a while a truly original title  comes along. This one is sure to perk up even the most jaded  woodworker. Browning has developed a method of scroll-sawing  images from photographs using thin plywood. The results are  remarkable his likenesses of famous people or family members  (shown with their photos) are uncanny. While those with access  to a scanner and photo software will have greatest success,  Browning also shows how to trace or draw patterns. In addition,  he provides 55 patterns for animals and people (including  Christian and historic images). Sure to be of interest to most  woodworkers and the public libraries that serve them.Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
