This review is from: Words of Faith in Wood (Paperback)
Dr. Jeff Paxton's book is truly one of a kind. I purchased my copy about 3 months ago and began cutting out the patterns immediately. I have been looking for a book like this since I began scrolling. These framed, "Words of Faith" was my Christmas gift for over 30 of my closest friends. I have received more positive feedback about them in 3 weeks than any of my previous work in 3 years. My scroll saw experience is limited, but I believe a beginner can cut these out. Dr. Paxton has included very detailed patterns and some excellent tips on things like wood choice, stack cutting and etc. This book has taken my scroll saw work to a new level of recognition and accomplishment, but yet they are so simple to cut out. The inspiration from this book has lead me to develop some of my own patterns. Well, I don't know what else to say except, if you're a scroll saw enthusiast and don't buy this book call; "Words of Faith in Wood" you are missing out on a tremendous blessing. Many blessings to come. Happy scrolling!

Great ideas but....,
By Wanderer292 (Othello, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Words of Faith in Wood (Paperback)
this book has some GREAT ideas but you better be ready to redraw the patterns before you cut them. I could be wrong but it looks to me that the patterns were drawn free hand and have very few good lines to follow with the saw
