World Wildlife Patterns for the Scroll Saw

iv
Introduction
Wildlife has long been a favorite topie for woodworkers. Animals of every sort are
espeeially adaptable to our favorite hobby of scroll sawing. Their fluid and drama tic poses
make for beautiful portraits and seenes. The simple silhouette style is excellent to display
the individual feathers, muscles, or fur lines of eaeh animal. You will soon find yourself
using the wildlife patterns in this book for eorner braekets, wall deeor, and even box lids.
Eaeh area of our world has its own unique set of animals-from the kangaroo of
Australia to the eheetah of the Afriean savannah. Within the pages of this pattern book
you will surelv find your favorite animal, plus have a chance to create in wood some of
the world's most popular birds and sea life. From lions, panda bears and ibis to the pesky
little ringtail, there is something here for every animal lover.
These patterns are ereated so that they ean easily be used individually or added to
eorner braekets, weathervane arrows, and framed edges. Use your imagination as you
browse through the pages for the numerous adaptations that you ean add to make eaeh
work a unique pieee of art. Those animals that are most popular in today's art are repeat-
ed several times throughout the designs to provide you with a wide ehoice of ideas. Most
of all, be sure to have fun as you use these designs.
If you're looking for help with the basics of serolling, I highly reeommend the follow-
ing publieations: Scroll Saw Workshop magazine, published by Fox Chapel Publishing, 800-
457-9112, www.foxchapelpublishing.com or Scroll Saw Workbook by John A. Nelson,
published by Fox Chapel Publishing, 800-457 -9112, www.foxchapelpublishing.com.
