completely surrounded by slightly rippled water. This leaves room for scrollers to experiment with colored acrylic or painted backgrounds for a maximum time-of-day effect. This also exaggerates the center action of the fiercely fighting snagged fish.

Change the total feel of this pattern by using walnut ply-board for your cutting piece and a lighter (or colored) backer to make a silhouette appearance. Hang with a chain in a custom frame and a stained glass backer for an elaborate window catcher! You could also enlarge this pattern for a gorgeous framed art centerpiece above the couch in your trophy room. Elongating the pattern by extending in one or both directions (imitating the tree and rippled water design) would make a wonderful nature scene for your favorite fisherman's den or that narrow empty place in the hall. I like to encourage scrollers that use my patterns to use them as a guideline, and let imagination finish your piece.

INSTRUCTIONS

Using the method of choice, apply your pattern to the clean surface of your show piece. We use Removable Adhesive Paper for ALL of our scrolling projects. We usually stack cut six pieces of 1/8" Baltic birch plywood. We nave cut as many as ten pieces at one time, and Kerry asked me to tell you that six is best. We apply double-sided sticky tape to the four corners of the wood, staying clear of the pattern. These boards are approximately 12-11/16" by 9-7/8", cut to fit the inside of some ready-made frames. I have listed only one piece of 1/8" wood * in the supplies list. You can use a birch board spray painted black, the cardboard that comes with your frame spray painted black, or pick a beautiful piece of naturally dark walnut or other fine wood cut and edged for a plaque backer, gluing the finished piece on with wood glue.

No matter which pattern application method you use, it is a good idea to apply 2"- or 3"-wide clear packaging tape over the entire top of your pattern. This simple and inexpensive step will lengthen the life of your blades as r helps to keep them cooler by lubricating them while you cut. Do not wrap tape around to the bottom of your wood as this could make your board(s) uneven or take your blade out of square. Make sure your blade is square and check Ihis frequently while scrolling.

Pre-drill all your holes and put a starter hole at the end of all the single lines (e.g. the lines within the boat). Cut your smaller areas first. Kerry cut this pattern approximately left to right, not in the usual "center-working-out" method. I would still recommend taking out the biggest areas last. Of course, let your own experience guide your blades and be PATIENT.

When you are finished, gently pry the boards apart. For those of you who have discovered the ease of peeling off Removable Adhesive Paper, peel off and frame! Otherwise, remove your pattern, clean, sand and frame as desired.

We are SKWoodWorks, which stands for "Shelli Kerry Woodworks." I just sent a packet of Removable Adhesive Paper and a Creative Woodworks & Crafts magazine to some of our scrolling "SAW" member friends in Italy. Scrolling is certainly an international language! We have a website, www.skwood-works.com, a regular customer base, and pattern ideas all the time. We have so many things we want to do and so little time to do them! I draw in standard 8-1/2 x 11" letter-size patterns for easy cutting, mounting or framing. We sell the adhesive paper, finished pieces, and patterns off of our website.
