Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts is proud to present this collection of 28 wildlife projects. This book will enable you to create your own wooden zoo, using your scroll saw to make everything from a sea turtle to an elk to a house cat.

The variety goes beyond kinds of animals, too. Some projects are all about the scroll saw, using only dozens of small cuts on a single piece of wood to form an animals likeness. Others incorporate different skills, adding multiple woods, sanding, and paint to form multi-dimensional intarsia images.

The categoriesBirds, Pets, Water Life, North American Wildlife, and Big Catswill help you decide which project to tackle first. Most are decorative, designed to be hung on walls, but you will also find a napkin holder, a coat rack, some trivet options, and even one aquatic portrait that can bring new life to an abandoned aquarium.

The more demanding projects include detailed step-by-step instructions, while some of the simpler ones consist only of a pattern and picture of the final project. You will also find tips that will help you improve your skills scattered throughout the book.

Whether youre carving for yourself or as a gift for someone else, were sure you will enjoy making these wild, wonderful creatures.

Horse,

From the huge bald eagle to the tiny songbird, birds have always captured the human imagination. We envy their flight, smile at their song, and thrill to the unexpected flash of color they bring the landscape.

The four projects in this section offer a chance to translate that fascination into works of art that make captivating home accents and gifts. Maybe the rooster napkin holder will remind you of all those times you awoke to that early-morning crow, or the blue jay intarsia of the beauties of nature.

Whether youre a seasoned scroller or just starting out, the variety in this set of projects ensures that you will be able to enjoy creating your own fine feathered friend.
