See What I Saw Creations

My work is primarily done on a scroll saw using a variety of wood species. No lasers or CNC machines are used. Everything is made by hand by me. To make my crafts, a hole is drilled in the wood, a blade is fed through the hole, the blade gets clamped down, and I cut out that section. Then I release the blade and move on to the next hole. Some items can have upwards of 100 cuts. This is called fretwork. Most of my pieces involve some sort of fretwork. If I am cutting a puzzle then no fretwork is needed. Puzzle cutting is one continuous cut from start to finish. Regardless if it is a puzzle or fretwork, next, it is time for sanding. After sanding, there is usually some sort of embellishing that needs to take place. Some items need a stand or a backer, others need stained, or a combination of both. Once that is done, everything gets a clear gloss coat to finish. Start to finish, crafts can take two to four hours to complete. Scroll saws are portable so as long as I have some blanks prepared, I would be able to bring one to demonstrate the cutting process.
