 Patterns Has anyone used the patterns from the book by Mary Duke Guldan using 3/4 " thick sections glued together? What are your thoughts? Since we have moved to a Senior Citizens complex I have no room for the tools I had. Being without a band saw I am stuck with a jigsaw or a coping saw so cutting out is much easier using 3/4" stock than a block. Any comments? Squint  |

| Re: Patterns Squint.... I've never used one of her patterns but I do a lot of carving in empress wood and I laminate the 3/8, 1/2 and 3/4 sections together all the time using Titebond. As long as you line the wood grain up in all sections carving it is not much different than carving a solid block.

| Re: Patterns That was one of my first books years back. I too made the mountain lion using a coping saw,3\4 inch pine, and glue. It turned out great, and I gave it away afew years ago.I was just looking at the book today,in fact, I'm considering the moose in the near future. Oh, and use the jigsaw!
