Free Pattern - Birds - Kingfisher

I found this free online project over at the website for the folks at Creative Woodworks & Crafts Magazine. The pattern is by Roy King, Scott Kochendorfer, and Bob Valle of White Tail Designs, Ltd.

I really like the shape of this plaque, very unique from your average run of the mill square, round and rectangular framing. I also like the idea of using a Kingfisher for the design, very different from all of the Cardinal, Bluejay and Hummingbird patterns that are available.

If you love to do birds & wildlife scenes this should be right up your alley. The fret work plaque that you see above measures 1/4" x 10" x 7" and was cut from Maple.

If you would like to make one of these, you can read the instructions here, and download a pdf here.

If you like to learn more about these small, brightly colored birds you can visit the Kingfisher page at Wikipedia .
