DW I don't know if you have heard the expression "It's like sending coal to Newcastle" but that is what I thought when I saw the Koalas. An American cutting Australian Koalas and posting on an Australia web site. Priceless. They are great, well done :2tsup:

Nicely done. I like the way the puzzle describes the koalas mouths.

PS Koalas are not bears, they are marsupials.

The pattern came from the book Animal Puzzles for the Scroll Saw ... published by Fox Chapel Publishing. I have a Kangaroo pattern as well that I cut from time to time. Both sell well here. :) I am stocking up for the spring show when they start in May, so I have been cutting all kinds of things. Glad you liked them ... still looking for other down under animal patterns to cut.

Don't have a pattern......but try hitting Google images of BILBY.
There are some indigenous outlines there as well for the same animal.
