Scroll Saw Christmas Ornaments: More Than 200 Patterns (Fox Chapel Publishing) Full-Size Drawings of Religious & Traditional Designs: Santas, Snowmen, Fretwork, Ornate Words, Novelties, and Wildlife Paperback – October 26, 1999

Well written book full of good advice and interesting patterns.

Lots of many patterns all of which are easy to do with great instructions on how to

Nice book of fairly simple scroll saw Christmas ornament patterns. Would be great for a beginner or someone that likes easier/quick projects. Lots of variety.

Pretty cool designs. I make them out of baltic burch for strength and looks. I have a saw with a plastic insert in the center (porter cable) so the center flexs. These ornaments are small so that they were bouncing. I had to get a sheet of acrylic and put it over the length of my table to re-enforce the center. Works great now. Make sure u dont permanently attach the acrylic sheet. I use spray adhesive and remove it with a heat gun and mineral spirits. I use olsen skips 3 and 5. The “mach” are a little too aggressive for these. This one book will keep me busy throughout the year. If you put the acrylic on your table reverse blades aren’t very effective. You will lose the bottom teeth because of the added table height. I use needle files to fine tune them.

Gave me an idea that I wouldn't have had unless I bought this book

If you want convenience, buy the book, if you'd rather pay to save from downloading free patterns from the internet, just do that. Better than that, download patterns from the internet and make your own book!

This is exactly what I have been looking for. Plain, simple Christmas ornaments. Stack the wood, cut out a simple design, and you are quickly done. These are not ornate designs, but rather simple and easy. They will cut easily, will finish easily as well, and will look nice on the tree, or for a simple gift.

I received this book as a gift. The patterns are great and range from easy to difficult. The variety of patterns will work so well for gifts! Tom Zieg has a number of books with patterns and so far this one is one of my favorites!
