Description

Father and son scroll sawing team Wayne and Jacob Fowler have based every design on their own extensive photographic studies of live animals, taken on location in the wild, in zoos and in nature preserves. 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 colour photo gallery will inspire you with the range of impressive wildlife projects that you can complete with this book.

Author Biography

Ontario-based woodworking artists Wayne and Jacob Fowler have published hundreds of fret work magazine articles and patterns. The father and son team specializes in freestanding, single piece patterns for the scroll saw, based on wildlife, landscape and floral themes. They create their realistic designs using computer drawing software, working from their own extensive photographic studies of live animals taken on location in the wild, in zoos and in nature preserves.
