I moved to Northwest Montana three years ago and needed some wintertime hobbies. A year ago Santa brought me a compound miter saw, the for a birthday I got a router and started playing around with scrap wood. This past Christmas, Santa (LSH) got me a dewalt scroll saw and I’ve been having fun with it. I made some signs for friends and then got interested in dog portraits. (I’m a retriever field trial trainer/competitor). Of course the pattern is a big challenge! I’m anxious to try a bowl! I’ve learned a lot from ssv videos and forums. Thanks! Christina A.
