INSTRUCTIONS From gift to gallery About a year ago, I had the opportunity to create a scroll sawn silhouette of two acacia trees for Kuki Gallmann, author of "1 Dreamed of Africa." That experience stirred my interest in the Dark Continent: the land, its people, and especially its incredible population of animals-may they alzvays roam wild and free! This project gives you art opportunity to recreate a small piece of Africa. It's not difficult to make, yet once completed, the clock looks like it could belong in an art gallery. Stock selection Choosing just the right piece of wood for the base is very important. California redwood was used here because of the interesting shape of the rough outside edges. The slab had to be trimmed somewhat-tilting the scroll saw table about 30 degrees did a good job of matching the edge. Look for a piccc of wood with plenty of character. It should be at least 3/4"-thick and approximately 5" x 17". If a slab with a natural edge is unavailable, tilt the saw tabic and experiment with some sort of freeform design. ..................................................................._.......BaaUHBH— —............................. |
