Mallard Duck by Scott McKenna
When I first started working with a scroll saw, I turned to where so many others did… Steve Good’s Scrollsaw Workshop. His patterns taught me so much with a scroll saw. Now, my background was in fine art, not woodworking, so pattern designing was something that really peaked my interest. Drawing a viable design with no ‘floating’ parts is an exciting challenge…
Personally, I favor fretwork. Complex designs with numerous, small cutouts. So naturally, a lot of my designs reflect that. I’m constantly trying to challenge myself.
My bread and butter is Pegas spiral blades. Most of my designs have that in mind. It reminds me of drawing with a pen, able to easily move in every direction.
Ducks are my favorite animal. If you follow me, you’ll see a lot of duck themed art. For this pattern of a mallard duck, I’d likely use a size #1 Pegas spiral blades.
