Wood artist Neal Moore is the perfect guide into the world of “segmented portraiture,” the craft of cutting and staining wood pieces and re-assembling them like a jigsaw puzzle. Color photos, precise patterns, and clear instructions make creating realistic wildlife portraits fun and easy. Inside you will find: *Advice on equipment *A complete overview of the process *16 precisely designed and color-coded patterns, each with a project overview, number of pieces, and cutting sequence *Tips for creating patterns from your own photos *How to make a customized frame for your project *And much more. The projects are amazing! Sculpt a great horned owl or a wolf. Scroll saw a cheetah or jaguar. Yes, you’ll find lions and tigers and bears! If you love your scroll saw and are looking to move from being a woodworker to a wood artist, this is a great place to start!

However, the plans indicate enlarging to various degrees. I suggest larger. Some of the cuts, even at listed enlargements are almost impossible to make. So, make them bigger. Great results when enlarged.

Like animals? Got a scroll saw? Why are you reading this you should be putting you credit card details in by now and be buying this book! Some of the projects take you on a step by step journey to produce something truly beautifull. Project costs are kept low by using one type of wood and then staining. Finished results with a bit of time and care are stunning. This is going to keep me busy for ages.

Per gli amanti del traforo, questo libro propone una serie di bellissimi soggetti tratti dal mondo animale. La tecnica utilizzata è una via di mezzo tra l’arte del traforo classica e l’intarsio. Per me si è trattato di una piacevolissima novità. Vengono proposti tre soggetti con realizzazione spiegata passo-passo, dopodiché tutta una serie di progetti destinati sia ai meno esperti che a coloro che già padroneggiano la materia. Da non perdere!!

IF YOU ENJOY USING THE SCROLLSAW, THESE PATTERNS WILL BRING LIFE TO YOUR PROJECTS, I HAVE COMPLETED 2 OF THEM, AND HAVE REALLY ENJOYED THEM. MUCH EASIER THAN INTARSIA, BUT WITH THE DIRECTIONS, THE PATTERNS CAN REALLY COME TO LIFE, AND YOU DON’T NEED A BIG INVESTMENT IN EXOTIC WOOD
