Summary

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 projectswhich are broken into beginner, intermediate, and advanced sectionsyou'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.
