Killer Whales(Orcas) Scroll Saw Pattern.

This pattern is close to ten inches square. It is designed for two layers 1/4" thick each. 

The killer whale (Orcinus orca), also known as the orca, is a toothed whale belonging to the oceanic dolphin family, of which it is the largest member. Killer whales have a diverse diet, although individual populations often specialize in particular types of prey. Some feed exclusively on fish, while others hunt marine mammals such as seals and other species of dolphin. They have been known to attack baleen whale calves, and even adult whales. Killer whales are apex predators, as no animal preys on them. A cosmopolitan species, they can be found in each of the world's oceans in a variety of marine environments, from Arctic and Antarctic regions to tropical seas, absent only from the Baltic and Black seas, and some areas of the Arctic Ocean.

Killer whales are highly social; some populations are composed of matrilineal family groups (pods) which are the most stable of any animal species. Their sophisticated hunting techniques and vocal behaviours, which are often specific to a particular group and passed across generations, have been described as manifestations of animal culture.

The International Union for Conservation of Nature assesses the orca's conservation status as data deficient because of the likelihood that two or more killer whale types are separate species. Some local populations are considered threatened or endangered due to prey depletion, habitat loss, pollution (by PCBs), capture for marine mammal parks, and conflicts with human fisheries. In late 2005, the southern resident killer whales, which swim in British Columbia and Washington state waters, were placed on the U.S. Endangered Species list.

Wild killer whales are not considered a threat to humans and no fatal attack on humans has ever been documented, but there have been cases of captive orcas killing or injuring their handlers at marine theme parks. Killer whales feature strongly in the mythologies of indigenous cultures, and their reputation in different cultures ranges from being the souls of humans to merciless killers.

Advent Candle Wreath Scroll Saw Pattern


Click to Enlarge
Download the Pattern Below

I know that the timing of this pattern is a little odd. This Advent candle wreath should be a holiday season pattern. I'll be honest. I was designing this for a reader and ran out of time to do a second pattern so this became the pattern of the day.

Excuse the inappropriate candles. That is all I had available. Most will prefer stick candles over tea light candles. I will link below to more appropriate candles. You will need to come up with metal candle trays to hold the candles.

I know that some of you will want the fifth candle in the middle. I included a version of the pattern that eliminates the angel and has a center base for the fifth candle.

If you like the tea light style advent candles, they make those also. Here is a link to a set of those.

Here is an inexpensive trick I learned from Mytoya a few years ago. You can use an inexpensive pocket door pull with a nail to make a safe metal candle cup.
