Irish, including: Bears Bobcats Buffalo Geese Deer Ducks Eagles Flamingo Fox Horses Moose Owls Lions Sheep Raccoons Squirrels Wolves Turkeys ...and many more!

Irish provides 61 precisely drawn patterns for everything from squirrels, raccoons, and rabbits to moose, cougars, and rams. Choose from captivating ready-to-cut patterns, each drawn with crisp, easy-to-follow lines. With just a little wood, a pattern, and a scroll saw, any woodworker can bring the wonderful animals that share our world to life on boxes, corner brackets, and wall décor. The simple silhouette style of the scroll saw pattern is excellent for reflecting the flowing lines of muscles and fur: Feathers can be delineated to give birds and eagles flight. Ears can be tilted forward or laid back to give wolves and deer expression. Full scenes with habitat areas, animals, and a background of mountains and sky all can be created from one continuous piece of wood. North America offers a wide variety of animal life to use in this beautiful art form. Pesky raccoons can hide in the hollow of the old tree and the graceful elongated stalk of the mountain lion can be captured against the rocky ledge. Somewhere within the pages of North American Wildlife Patterns, you will find your favorite North American animal. Those animals and birds that are so popular in today's art—such as the whitetail deer, the black bear, the pheasant, and many others—can be found in several different patterns to provide a wide variety of choices that spur your creative ideas. These patterns were each created to easily be used individually or added to corner brackets, weathervane arrows, and framed edges. Use your imagination as you browse through the pattern pages—as well as the included gallery of finished works—for the numerous adaptations you could add to make each work a unique piece of art all your own. But most of all, have fun as you use these patterns in your own scroll saw designs! Read more

NATIONAL BESTSELLERLONGLISTED FOR THE 2025 ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL FOR EXCELLENCE IN NONFICTIONA captivating memoir that immerses readers in the life of a Scottish carpenter as he perfects his craft, builds a business, and reflects on what inheritance and shared responsibility really meanThe eldest son of a master woodworker, Callum Robinson spent his childhood surrounded by wood and trees, absorbing lessons in his father’s workshop. In time he became his father’s apprentice, helping to create exquisite bespoke objects. But eventually the need to find his own path—to chase ever bigger and more commercial projects and establish a workshop of his own—drew him away. Faced with the end of his business, his team, and everything he had worked so hard to build, he was forced to question what mattered most. In beautifully wrought prose, Callum tells the story of returning to the workshop and to the wood, to handcrafting furniture for people who will love it and then pass it on to the next generation—an antidote to a culture where everything seems so easily disposable. As he does so, he brings us closer to nature and the physical act of creation—and we begin to understand how he has been shaped, as both a craftsman and a son. Blending memoir and nature writing at its finest, Ingrained is an uplifting meditation on the challenges of working with your hands in our modern age, on community, consumerism, and the beauty of the natural world—one that asks us to see our local trees, and our own wooden objects, in a new and revelatory light.
