Get creative with your scroll saw and dive into the world of woodimals. Woodimals are fun and creative puzzles made in the shapes of countless animals from around the world. Each of these 56 puzzles incorporates the name of its animal into its design, resulting in a piece that is both engaging and entertaining.

Woodimals make perfect gifts: These interlocking animal puzzles are excellent projects to create for young children just learning how to read. Turn your workshop into a classroom for your children or grandchildren and present them with an engaging and interactive learning experience!

Woodimals come in all shapes, including American classics like the bison, creatures from the sea like dolphins, and exotic animals like the giraffe. They are perfect for beginner scrollers seeking to build their skills or for more advanced scrollers looking for project and gift ideas.

Woodimals put a delightful spin on the classic scroll saw puzzle by appealing to two different levels of perception at once—the shape of the creature plus a clever presentation of its name. Inside the pattern-packed Woodimals: Creative Animal Puzzles for the Scroll Saw, Woodimal creator Jim Sweet shows you how to make 56 of his most intriguing critters.

The book starts out with two step-by-step projects to introduce you to the basics of scrolling and mounting a Woodimal puzzle, along with recommendations about the types of wood to use, adding details, and finishing. The patterns are drawn in fine lines, making cutting with a thin scroll saw blade both easy and achievable.

Woodimals spells fun for all ages. Educational, decorative and enjoyable, they provide hours of fun for anyone with a scroll saw who likes to make wooden puzzles!
