"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 scroll saw book provides 40 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.

Inside you'll find:
- instructions and illustrations explaining "two-in-one" cutting techniques
- color photographs of select pieces showing all four sides of the figure
- 128 distinct, ready-to-use patterns for nautical themes, wildlife, music, people and more
