Nothing has stirred the imuyinalior of both young and old over fhe centuries as that of the wild-eyed horses, animals, and creatures ot the carousel. This interpretation of a majestic carousel slallion is a small tribute to the true crtisans who carved the flying, snorting, rearing horses, roaring drcgons, and floating swans. How I remember being able to run loose in my mind tor a few minutes with a thundering, rolling herd of unfemed spirits. II always ended too soon, when the music slowed, the ride stopped, and I had fo find my mom. I still hate fo wave goodbye to my beautiful, briefly befriended carousel horse!

INSTRUCTIONS

Using the method of choice, apply your pattern to Ihe clean surface of your wood. We use Removable Adhesive Paper for ALL of our scrolling projects; more information ccn be found on our web site at www.skwoodwcrks.com. II you plan to paint or glue jewels onto certain areas, white-out those sections of fhe pattern so you do not cut them.

We usually stack cut up to six pieces of 1 /8"-thick Baltic birch plywood. Though we have listed only one piece ot l/8"-thick wood in the supplies list, we use about six boards for stability and enhanced productivity. Kerry affixes double-sided sticky tape to the four corners of each piece of wood, staying clear of the pattern, and presses the boards together. These particular boards were cut to fit some ready-mede frames.

Ko matter which pcttem application method you use, it is a good idea tc apply 2"- or 3"-inch-wide clear packaging tape over the entire top of your pattern. TTiis simple and inexpensive step will lengthen the life of your blades, as if helps lo keep them cooler by lubricating them while you cut. Do not wrap tape around to the bottom ot your wood as this could make your board(s) uneven and lake your blade out of square. Make sure your blade is square, and chcck ft lis frequently while scrolling.

Pre-drill all your holes, ard put a starter hole at the erd of all the single lines. Cut your smaller areas first {usually of the center of the pattern). Remove fhe biggest areas lasf. Lei your own experience guide your blades.

When you are finished, gently pry fhe boards apart and remove the tape. If you used Removable Adhesive Paper, peel your pattern off. Otherwise, remove your pallem using your method cf choice. Sand the backs of each board. For Ihe backer, we spray painted the cardboard thct came with the frame red, blue, and green lo give an airfcrushed, festive feel. Ycu could also use a piece of birch board for the backer, or choose your own color combination of materials and frames. Glue fhe finished piece to the backer, using wood glue, then frame.
