Description

No matter the level of scrolling experience, continuing to challenge yourself is a must. Charles Hand's Fantastic Fretwork Patterns for the Scroll Saw introduces scrollers to the basics of fretwork through a series of skill-building projects: basic cutouts, postcard-sized portraits, coasters, trivets, and ornaments. Once mastered, move up to several advanced fretwork projects which include portraits involving layers and coloring techniques. Included are beginning chapters on tools, finishing and scroll saw maintenance. With 40+ full-size patterns, a beginner guide, and plenty of high-quality photography, this book is a must-have for every scroller.
