|  Fish Puzzle Playing with puzzles can be a lot of fun - lol, so I hear.  I have never been a puzzle type of person I suppose and have not ever gotten bitten by the bug. In fact the last puzzle I did, was with my son, and that was as more of a supporting team player than the one DOING the puzzle. When Sue and I were preparing for the woodshows this year, we decided our focus was going to be what people could make with their saw, not what we make. So, we picked several items from magazines, patterns and books. This fish puzzle was among the pieces, and I have to admit, I enjoyed it. The bright vibrant colours, were also fun to paint. If you come across this pattern - it is worth a cut. Sorry, I don't know who the designer was, it was out of a book that had projects by several designers. Take care Toni

 | Hehehehe, that was the project that got me started in scrollsawing. It was originally published in Wood Magazine, I believe you can still order it from their site. Nice job Toni.

 | The designer is Russell Greenslade, Toni - I have a couple of his patterns here - including that one - though I've not cut it yet. That fish looks fun though ... If anyone is interested the patterns are available at http://www.woodstore.net/fishypuzzle.html - that's the fish puzzle and http://store.woodstore.net/scrolpuzbir.html - 2 patterns of birds - a very nice looking parrot (macaw?) and a pelican.

| What did you use for the colors Toni? They are vibrant and I like them for a toy. Also what finish did you apply on it (if any?) Curiously, Marcel

| Hi Diane, I used plain old fashioned acrylic craft paint. Nothing too exciting about colouring this one. Take care Toni
