The remainder is devoted to the projects, with each accompanied by patterns and step-by-step instructions....Closes with an introduction to intarsia, a style of decorative inlay using various colors of wood shapes in a mosaic to form a picture." -Woodshop News., With the scroll saw and a brand new technique it's easy to make decorative woodwork that looks artfully hand-carved! This ingenious piece of equipment has transformed woodworking by simplifying almost every task, and once again it eliminates the need for advanced skills. The new process is called "segmentation," and with an expert's help anyone can master these cutting techniques. When you see the color photographs of beautiful things even beginners can make, you'll want to get started right away. After some basic information on the scroll saw and wood materials, instructions lay out the segmentation process in detail.
