"The 30 colorful wooden puzzles presented in this collection of scroll saw projects commemorate religious, natural, and civic occasions. Basic scrolling techniques are included, as are veterans' tips and special instructions for unique painting and staining effects. Each puzzle is constructed by making several interlocking cuts and produces three to four individual pieces of wood that fit together in the completed project. The ready-to-cut patterns include a nativity scene, leprechaun, pumpkin, Menorah candle scene, birthday cake, and Santa Claus."
