I Love My German Shepherd Scroll Saw Pattern.


I have been slowly working on a few popular dog breed patterns. I am trying to keep them easy to cut with just enough detail but not too much. I have five designed and will be doing a few more. I try to release them over the next few weeks as they are complete. 

These will be large enough that you can use 3/4" thick wood if that's what you have available. The German Shepherd in this pattern is eight inches tall. I'll probably release the Labrador Retriever next.

If you have a favorite breed feel free to leave me an email. I probably won't have time to reply to the emails but I will add the breeds to a list and look for reference photos to draw from. 

Just for information. I am drawing the dogs on my iPad Pro 10.5 with the Apple pencil. With the right software on the iPad Pro and the Apple pencil it makes a fantastic work surface.  I still import the final drawing into CorelDraw on the PC for completion and exporting to PDF. 

I am using an app named Procreate on the iPad Pro to do the drawing. It is a bitmap graphics program so I have to convert the drawing to vectors in CorelDraw but that's no problem. 

Drawing on the screen with the Apple pencil is such a perfect way to draw. It is so much easier than freehand drawing with the mouse on a Windows PC, I love the process.

I have a nice graphics tablet on my PC but it is still not as nice as drawing directly on the screen with the Apple pencil.

Think Safety

Remember to keep the safety of yourself and others in your work shop in your thoughts at all times. Always wear eye and ear protection. Follow all the manufactures warnings that came with your power tools. If I demonstrate something on this web site that you don't feel is safe, don't do it. Your safety is your responsibility. Fingers are handy things, try to keep all of them.
