Introduction

The lynx is often mistaken for the bobcat, but they are two different cats. The lynx is larger and weighs, on average, about thirty pounds (as opposed to the, generally, twenty-pound bobcat). The ear tufts are larger and the feet are much broader.

This pattern is an excellent one with which to do some playing. It cuts beautifully at its original size and all the way down to 50%. Instead of cutting the design from the center of your wood, try it along the top edge. Also, different backgrounds can really Change the look of a project. Although burl and slab wood is always a big complement to wildlife patterns, feel free to try this one on dimensional wood, too.

But most of all, make sure you have fun! '
