Scrollsaw 'Art'

The scrollsaw is another favorite tool in the woodshop, largely because of the freeform creativity for which it allows. I’m a particular fan of ‘relief’ cuttings on the scrollsaw, as you can see in each of these images: the light tone is hand cut birch plywood that I then frame on top of a deep velvety color, like black (or red), which makes a two-tone imagine really POP. I can take a photograph and reproduce it by hand in wood with the scrollsaw, like you see here. Each piece is a one of a kind.

The scrollsaw also lends itself to other fine work, like puzzles, intarsia, and signs. Feel free to contact me to talk about some possibilities.
