INSTRUCTIONS

Make the pieces

Moke two copies of the pattern and transfer one to Ihe plywood and the other to the cardbocrd. Scroll around the perimeter of the pattern on the wood slock {using a No. 5 blade), then saw out each individual segmentation piece (with the No. 2 blades), starting with the ears. As each piece is cul, lay it on the cardboard pattern (see Fig. 1). Continue cutting each piece working from the outside in. Once all pieces have been cut, refer to Ihe main photograph and paint the eyes and nose Black with White highlignfs. Stain cach piece as desired.

Assembly

Place the bottom piece in the hand screw and secure it tightly (see Fig. 2). Working from the bottom up allows you to stagger the pieces to get a 3-D effect. Apply the glue heavily to the back third of each piecc and insert each one from the bock, that way squeeze out will be on the rear surface. Allow each piece to set up before continuing to the next. As the gluing proceeds, Ihe orientation of the piece in the hand screw can be changed to allow the edge pieces to be held in ploce by gravity, rather than by further clamping (see Fig. 3). Hang and enjoy!
