Wood: .wood of choice*-—one piece 3/4" x 17"x 15" (for main project piece}:; contrasting wood of choice—one piece 1 /4" x 3" x 3-? f'2" (for smaller pattern piece);■■shell laminate*'*—one piece 3" x 3" (for the inlay) Tools: scroll saw with No. 5 (12.5 TP1) and No. 2 (20 TP!)

*Natural edged stab wood is suggested, as if is a good complement to this pattern,

is set into the resulting indentation, it should be flush with the surrounding wood. (Note: as with the inlay, if the wood ends up being too high, it can be sanded down; if too low it can be built up.)

Step 8. Using dots of hot glue, hold the contrasting (wolf) wood in place on top of the moon inlay. To help with alignment, leave the top of the moon exposed. Do not put any glue directly on the shell laminate.

Step 9. Secure the small pattern piece in place with packaging tape. Use the exposed part of the moon for help with placement.

Step 10. Drill the remaining "X"s with a No. 58 bit. Step 11. Cut following the directional arrows. Step 12. Remove the wolf from the surrounding wood. Replace the dark wood from between the wolf's leg with the light wood from the background (from the area just cut). Using a hair dryer will help in the loosening and removal of the hot glue when the cutting of the wolf is complete.

Step 13. Remove the shell laminate. Carefully remove any

tape from the shell. Set it aside in a safe place.

Step 14. Put all but the shell back in the project (the wood

behind the moon, the wood behind the wolf, and the wolf

itself). Now the only thing that is not in place is the shell

laminate.

Step IS. Sand all as needed.

Step 16. Sand the inlay area until the wolf is flush with the surrounding areas. Trim or sand flush any excess wood on the back of the project. (Remember that once the laminate is in place only a small amount of sanding can be done without damaging the shell.)

Step 17. Insert the laminate in its place and check that the following are flush: the moon to the surroundings, the wolf to the moon, and the wolf to the surroundings. Build up under the moon with paper if necessary. Step 18. Once all is sanded and flush, glue everything in place. Let all glue dry.

Step 19. Do a light finishing sand over everything. Step 20. Use a clear finish over the entire project.

Carefully slip the shell laminate between the wood and the pattern until it is lined up for the moon. Carefully tape the laminate into place using clear packaging tape. Tape the pattern in place on top of the laminate. Drill a hole at "X" No. 1 and cut following the directional arrow. Do not remove any tape from the moon at this time, but remove all tape and pattern from surrounding areas. Step 6. Retape the moon in place.

Step 7. Cut circles in scrap wood with the No. 5 blade until it drops about 1/4". When a piece of the contrasling wood
