Introduction

The Grey Wolves pattern was designed by Steve Clark, who currently works as Art Director at Hawk Woodworking Tools. Steve designs and produces all flyers and catalogs for Hawk Woodworking Tools—basically every advertising or marketing piece that customers receive in the mail or at woodworking shows. Steve purchased his very own Hawk Scroll Saw in the summer of 2003 and, after designing a couple of projects for Hawk Woodworking Tools, decided it was time to design some patterns of his own.

Steve researched patterns currently available through catalogs, books and the Internet before deciding to try his hand at some North American wildlife patterns.

"I found some cool photographs of the Grey Wolves that I used for reference when designing the pattern, and made rough sketches for the composition. I wanted the pattern to have quite a bit of detail in it, but didn't want to make it too difficult to cut on the scroll saw."
