Making Dimensional Wood Plaques [Paperback]

Patrick Spielman (Author), Robert Hyde (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 1, 2004

From woodworking master extraordinaire Patrick Spielman (Art of the Scroll Saw, Making Wood Signs, and dozens more) and Robert Hyde, comes a manual that shows how easy it can be to make beautiful, complex-looking dimensional wood plaques. It takes only a few simple power tools, a small set of art supplies, and these creative and colorful patterns. By doing the projects—which are broken into beginner, intermediate, and advanced sections—you’ll build skills in 3 primary areas: making frames; making and coloring backgrounds and backings; and making, coloring, and mounting the layered cutouts. The stylish pieces include a simple and lovely arrangement of Cattails, a California Coast Scene with bright sailboats, layered landforms, and trees, and a charming Back to the Garden rural design.

This review is from: Making Dimensional Wood Plaques (Paperback)

Very nice introduction to making wood plaques. Great pictures and templates and easy to read. It answers a lot of questions but I still have a bunch more. I wish it went into a little more detail about paints and wood selection but still a very good book. Worth it for sure.
