Step-by-step instructions for one standard model provide the groundwork for 16 elaborate basket designs in this introduction to basket carving. Carvers learn how to use their scroll saws and the provided base pattern to create basket "levels" that, when glued together, form the base for a complete basket. This set of fundamental principles provides the jumping-off point for hundreds of basket designs. Patterns include small and large market baskets, a candy dish, and a tissue box. This new edition includes four new projects.
While wood bowls are commonly made on a lathe, this guided resource offers 28 projects for crafting beautiful bowls with the more accessible scroll saw. Each project is organized in a progressive learning format; beginning crafters can start with the most basic starter bowl and gradually work their way toward more elaborate bowls—such as laminated swag bowls; a flared lobed bowl made with varied angles; a thin, eight-segmented bowl; and an inward curving bowl. Original patterns for other types of vessels include a vase, a ginger jar, and a candy dish.
