woodreamer

I retired from teaching a few years ago, and resumed my love for woodworking, which I previously did in my summers off. I always enjoyed whittling and carving, something I watched my Grandfather do. Now after discovering scroll sawing and all it can do, I have joined the ranks of serious crafters, doing shows and markets, as well as displaying my stuff online.Two years ago, my wife and I moved to a condo with a a community workshop , outfitted mostly with some well-used Swiss made equipment that my neighbour, a carpenter by trade brought with him to Canada. I have contributed my scroll saw (no one else uses it but me) , a belt sander and a thickness planer. Its great to learn from experienced and creative people like my neighbour and from people like yourselves, and I really look forward to that. I love working with woods like black walnut, butternut, mahogany, oak, maple and mix in some of the exotic woods when can get some, like bubinga, purple heart etc. I tend to try many different types of projects, which has its advantages and disadvantages, but its all great fun. Looking forward to being part of this community
