If you are looking for something different and challenging to do on your scroll saw I would suggest this book.It has a nice gallery section showing the authors work and some great patterns.Just a couple of the patterns are worth the book alone and there is 55 of them.Rather than just a pattern book this also gives you the basic fundamental skills to choose good pictures and create a pattern from them.The information is fundamental and it will carry over to most graphic software titles out there.I for one thank the author for sharing this unique and exciting way of scroll sawing with all of us.His website also has tips and patterns but the book offers more information for the scroller.I hope this is one pattern maker that sticks around because I love his work.

Though this book does have a few very nice celebrety portrait paterns built into it, the author does not go to any great lenghts to tell you how to achieve these results yourself. The instructions may as well have been "use your computer to edit a digital photo or use tracing paper to create a scroll saw portrait pattern in black and white." The instructions on how to digitally manipulate the photographs were so basic that anybody with any understanding of computers would not need this book, and could find out what he tells you from the help menu of your favorite program. The book consists of roughly 10% instruction (ie. pictures of what he is doing), 90% patterns, so if you really want some of these nifty patterns, buy the book, if you want to find out how to create patterns, look elswhere.
