A new challenge for scroll saw craftsmen – how to create a single object that is shaped so that two different subjects are revealed with the object is turned 90 degrees. Compound figures are created when a single object is shaped so that two different subjects are revealed when the object is turned 90 degrees-from one angle it is an angel, from another a butterfly. This intermediate level book provides 128 scroll saw patterns for creating these objects and detailed instructions on how to execute the tricky scroll saw maneuvers required to cut them. Take a look at one of Sam Keener's scroll saw pieces and you'll see an angel. Turn it 90 degrees and look again. Now you'll see a butterfly perched on a flower. Pick up another piece: one side is a musical note; the other is a saxophone. A step beyond "three-dimensional" scroll saw projects, these two-in-one figures are made with a unique cutting technique perfected by author and artist Sam Keener.
