So here was the thought. Bob does super scroll work and I make boxes. Why not combine talents? I wanted to make a yellow ribbon box featuring some figured movingui for the ribbon itself and I had this 1/8 inch walnut veneer. I sized the veneer to the approximate size of the box and...

There are two versions of this cutting of my grandaugther in her "Tiki" dance costume. The left one is on plain soft maple, the right one is on tiger maple. My wife prefers the plain maple one because "the business of the wood detracts from the cutting". I prefer the tiger maple one because...

Here are a few of my toy projects and my first attempt at doing fretwork on the scroll saw. They don't have a finish on them and most haven't been finish sanded at this point.

This is a bit of a departure from the marquetry work I have been doing lately, but I find scrolling to be just another form of artistic expression that has been calling to me. From Wikipedia: Scherenschnitte (pronunciation: [ˈsharon-shnit), which means "scissor cuts" in German, is the art of...

More wood pendants :) The leaf is made from end cuts from a walnut and oak cutting board my father made, and the Dragon is black walnut with a birch backing for color contrast, and so the detail of the scroll work is easier to see.

I've once again fallen behind with adding my new projects to my gallery here on Lumberjocks. I had intended to add them every couple of days, but time has been slipping by so quickly, that it has been quite a while again. In any case, there is no time like the present so I have decided to...

I was driving my daughter around to get her to nap. after she fell asleep, I was driving back to the house and out of the corner of my eye at a swap meet at a local community centre in Cedar (Vancouver Island, South of Nanaimo) I saw this little item. I carefully turned around and went in to...

This project was both a commissioned piece as well as a labor of love. Fools & Horses are a local "up and coming" band in the Baltimore area and will be releasing their fourth studio album next month. The entire band are great friends of ours for a number of years now. The bass player's mom...

I have had no time to make toys lately but i decided with dad to make a truck, but i wanted something different, as usual :) found the basic idea on the web and then i tough to make it a little more interactive, so i painted it with chalk paint that i did myself with grout and paint, as the...

This is a scrollwork image of my father's beloved dog, Buddy; who is still alive and doing well. This dog has been a wonderful and very loyal dog for my father for the past few years. I thought this would be a great Christmas gift, so I took a shot at it. My inspiration to take on this project...

This is the latest and the last piece in my series of leopards which i will be showcasing in my upcoming exhibit entitled "BEYOND THE GROWL" - A FELINE FASCINATION on November 14-28, 2009 at the ****************************** Museum.

So this is my first jewelry box. I made it for a friend for Christmas. Pretty simple design. It is made of Gaboon Ebony and Purple Heart; black flocking through out. It is finished with Renaissance Wax. The scroll work was designed by me but I did cheat in cutting it out. I scanned it...

This is my first serious scrollwerk project. It is one of Steve Goods patterns. I learned one very important thing with this project. Don't hand drill the holes in the little small openings. You won't keep them straight and sometimes they run into the next square. From now on I will use...

I did a cutting of my nephew and his fiance as a wedding present and then decided to construct a ribbon box to put it in rather than get a cardboard box and wrap with traditional wedding paper. I used tiger maple for the box as it is light in color but has a nice pattern. The ribbon is maple...

This is the last of the scrolling projects I did a while back. My wife likes hummingbirds so I did this for her. She really liked it. Originally designed with a border but she said not to put the border on. Guess what I didn't put the border on. Made from oak & popular.

I had a lot of fun designing this simple "Paris" plaque! I wanted to make something that was 'trendy' and looked elegant, but wasn't really difficult to cut. The frame from this project could easily be used for just about anything. The flowing, abstract lines from it are easy to cut and very...

This is the paddle >;) It's long grain and edge grain, made of Black Ash, Burr Oak, Cherry, Rock Maple, Red Oak & Walnut. Pretty much just scraps. It's sealed with (just like all my other cutting boards) salad bowl finish and mineral spirts. I rubbed it out with steel wool and it's smoother than...

"We're on a mission from Gawd" is still one of my favorite lines from one of my favorite movies! What better characters to try creating my very first scroll work WITHOUT someone else's plans! Yes, I have done quite a few works before - even much harder ones, but I think I like this one the...
