Hi. I have recently moved to a small town in Oregon to be near my parents. My dad is Heppnerguy. Many of you may already know him. He mostly does scrolling but started out doing intarsia; he does wonderful work. He thought because i have been a cabinet builder since the age of 14 that I would like this as well. I really do like it, and I am on my third piece. I do not scroll, but i do like the intarsia. The cutting part makes me nervous - I am to much of a perfectionist, and I have a hard time staying on the line. Which means that I get to do extra sanding. This is actually the part I like, but I am finding that I am spending too much time on that. Maybe some of you can relate - if you adjust one peice, every piece to follow will need adjustments and well.
My dad has been sharing his shop and lent me his old saw as well. It is great to spend time with him, and to be able to receive instruction from such an artist. I look forward to sharing my work, seeing yours, and getting to know you better.
