INSTRUCTIONS

Start by tracing the pattern onto tracing paper to allow for a choice of grain direction. Then use the carbon paper to transfer the pattern to wood, and start cutting the upper body (see Fig. 1). Use the upper body to make a more accurate cut line for the joining piece (see Fig. 2). Make sure you have cut the lines for the gills at this point. Glue the upper and lower pieces together at this time and let dry. Next, cut the head and fins to fit the body as shown in Fig. 3. With the rotary tool, stcrt rounding the-pieces (see Fig. 4). Drill a hole to accommodate the glass eye or eye made from wood (see Fig. 5). Glue the shark together on a 1/8" backer board. Cut a block with a 3/8" hole in it and attach it to the backer board (see Fig. 6). At a 45° angle, cut the base out of 3/4" cherry. Drill a 3/8" hole in the base where shown on the pattern. Cut the dowel to 2" long and attach the shark to the base as shown in Fig. 7. Apply finish of choice and let dry. Sit back and enjoy.
