INSTRUCTIONS

Transfer the pattern

Trace the pattern for the eagle onto tracing paper or 5mm clear plastic film. Having the pattern on a transparent sheet will allow you to better judge the grain direction of each piece as you lay it out. I prefer to use the plastic film (available from most local hardware stores) because it is clear and much more durable than the tracing paper. Use the graphite paper, white transfer paper, and a fine point stylus (a ball-point pen works well for this) to transfer the pattern to the selected stock.

Cut and fit

Use a No. 2 blade to saw the pattern pieces to shape, then refer to the Elevation Drawing on page 50 to determine the appropriate thickness of each section. As you cut each piece, try to stay just outside the traced line. This will give you room to get a nice sanded edge once all cuts have been made. Sand using the sanding drum or oscillating spindle sander. Be sure to sand at 90 degrees on each joined edge. Use the finished edge of each piece as a template to draw an accurate cut line on the adjoining piece (or pieces), thus ensuring a nice tight fit. Note: use masking tape to hold the pieces together as you progress.
