Wood® Magazine: Scrollsaw Patterns

How do the best scrollsawyers work, and what kinds of designs do they like to use? Wood magazine has gathered its finest techniques and projects in a pattern collection that any woodworker will treasure. Take these 80 patterns of animals and autos, birds and buildings, people and places and either follow the projects exactly as shown, incorporate the designs into a different piece, or do some clever mixing and matching. Choose from a selection of frames (flower, fretwork, firehouse); clocks; shelves; playtime cutouts; artistic and practical pieces (handsome hangers, a desk set); timeless trims; and many more. There’s plenty of advice on adjusting the pattern size, making them stick to the wood, choosing and using materials, keeping the equipment in top shape, and working correctly and safely.
