Hi, My name is Al, I've owned scroll saws since I was about ten years old, which is quite some time!! But I never got serious at scrolling until 1992 when I saw a Intarsia article in "WOOD" mag. showing Judy Gale Robert's work. I had recently retired after 40 years working with the Power companies in Mich. and here in CA. and was looking for something to do that would keep me out of my wife's hair and the article about Intarsias was just what I was looking for. I've been hooked ever since. I started buying patterns from JGR but after seeing that everyone else was making Intarsias from her patterns I decided to make my own. I have over 100 original designs in a drawer begging to be made when I find the time. "I don't sell patterns" I specialize in special orders, one of a kind, from friends or word of mouth. I also make furniture ,oil paint and have done stain glass.
Thanks for letting me join the group,
Al
