Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
The author of The New Router Handbook (1993), Southwest Scroll Saw Patterns (1994), and other woodworking classics has been using a scroll saw since age 11. In his latest book, he introduces new designs for this tool, which is superb for shaping delicate curves, sharp corners, and ornamental lettering. After an introduction of the scroll saw and general tips, Spielman introduces the 37 artists whose work is presented here, complete with color photographs, detailed instructions, and patterns. Among the projects elegantly, yet practically, presented are a chess set, a Black Forest clock, Christmas ornaments, bookends, puzzles, tables, and bowls. Denise Perry Donavin

4.0 out of 5 stars
FOR ME, THIS ONE WAS PURELY INSPIRATIONAL,
This review is from: The Art Of The Scroll Saw: Award Winning Designs (Paperback)
This is a fine book by any standards. But for my personal needs it has to fall into the category of purely inspirational rather than practical. The designs and techniques shown here are great...if you are an expierenced woodworker. For someone like my self, who has no history of working in wood, I could only look at the wonderful works of art here and dream. I guess what I am trying to say is that this is not a book for the beginner, or at least for one who wants to know how to get started. The projects featured in this work are far and above anything I will ever be able to turn out. On the other hand, the book, in a wonderful way, shows just what can be done with this art form, ergo, the inspiration. I feel if you are already highly skilled, then this work would be quite useful. If you are a beginner, you probably should look elsewhere.

This review is from: The Art Of The Scroll Saw: Award Winning Designs (Paperback)
I was really hoping for some award winning designs I could make myself, NOT a book showing great designs of other people and no patterns of that work. The patterns it does have I will doubtfully ever use since I have so many other good pattern books to choose from. I would pass this by if I had seen what was really in it. Save your money and find a better book.
