Brief description:
Ontario-based woodworking artists Wayne and Jacob Fowler have published hundreds of fretwork magazine articles and patterns. The father and son team specializes in freestanding, single-piece patterns for the scroll saw, based on wildlife, landscape, and floral themes. They create their realistic designs using computer drawing software, working from their own extensive photographic studies of live animals taken on location in the wild, in zoos, and in nature preserves.
