INSTRUCTIONS Cut out the patterns

Attach the patterns, found in Full Size Pattern Section No. 1, to the wood with temporary-bond spray adhesive. Drill holes for the interior cuts, then cut out the upright pattern, beginning with the interior and finishing with the exterior cuts on the dragon, then cutting out the bottom upright piece. Cut the base to the dimensions indicated and rout a decorative profile on the upper edge. The base pictured was routed with a 1/4" cove bit.

Remove the patterns from the wood, then sand where needed and clean up any cuts with needle files.

Remove any sawdust with a tack cloth, then stain the bottom upright piece as well as the base with stain of choice and allow to dry.

Assembly

Attach the bottom upright piece to the dragon with wood glue and allow to dry (see the Exploded View Drawing). Next, glue this assembly to the base. When dry, apply finish of choice to the entire piece. Your Dragon Silhouette is now ready for display! £*
