Use the file-line cutting capability of the scroll saw in combination with some elementry wood-shaping techniques to craft incredible woodworking pieces. They'll look as if they were artfully carved, but they are actually much eiser to make: simply cut parts of an object (like the tail, legs, etc., of an animal) from just a single board, add painted colors or natural finish, and assemble the parts. Master woodworker Patrick Spielman presents a wealth of outstanding projects, including an oil-stainded poplar Madonna and Child; a painted pine lighthouse or an ash plaque; a double-sided, free-standing poplar rooster; a country scene that has randomly sided segments and a sponge finish; and a Viking with a thin black plywood backer intentionally left showing the segments. Bonus: Check out the projects that are are a good introduction to intarsia - a more advanced technique involving the use of various species of naturally finished wood. |
