Srollsaw Arts from Denmark

[savvaerk]

Didn't know that SSWC was also present in the WWW. When I found out, I thought I should log in to take part in discussions and tips. My son always buys the scrollsaw mag whenever he travels to the US. I live in Denmark and own Svankjaer's little sawmill, Denmarks smallest sawmill.

Feel free to visit our website on www.savvaerk.com

Hope to find lots of tips and ideas here.

Hi Manfred,

Welcome to our little corner of the web.

Owner of a sawmill in Denmark? That is a rather unexpected job from my point of view: I mean I know Denmark has trees, but I see it as a very small place that's colder than where I live (Quebec, Canada) and with mostly snow not trees, oh yea, and beautifull blondes with legs that won't quit .

I guess that is as preconceived an idea of a country as it comes. And most likely completely false, except for the babes hopefully .

Ok, lust aside, I hope you like your stay with us and that it is a pleasant one. Please do join in the conversations since a new point of view is always welcomed and post any of your work as we like to look.

One of your many new friends,
Marcel

Edit: Ok, I should have looked at the website first. Sawmill as in a place that works wood, not one that turns trees into boards. Makes more sense, but I was still biased in my idea of your beautifull country (and not one snowflake in your pictures )

Welcome aboard. Always nice to have new talent join us. Judging by your website, it's definitely talent.

Marcel, I thought it was Sweden that had the blonde babes with legs up to here. Whatever, I'll take blonde, leggy babes wherever I can find them.

Love your work Manfred. Where did you get your patterns for the ornaments? They are just lovely and I would love to cut some of them. And ignore Pete's remark about the toothpick, I think he took too many meds today!!

Manfred, I'm curious too as to what kind of saw and blades do you use? How long have you been scrolling? And.....and.....oh, I guess thats enough question from me for now.

[bearfretworks]

Welcome Manfred! Absolutely beautiful work. Looking forward to hearing more from you.

Hey Betty, glad to hear, that you like my work. Well I collect patterns from all over the world. I started scrollsawing as a kid and do that already for over 40 years, I also collect ideas and create my own patterns. I have patterns from Germany, Denmark, Amerika and other countries.

As I told Betty, I started scrollsawing over 40 years ago with a regular scrollsaw. 10 years ago I bought a Hegner Multi Cut 2 se scrollsaw and started with more filigrane patterns. I use Niqua Fix Reverse blades No 5.
I have three elctr. scrollsaws now, but still work with my first Hegner Multicut that I bought a decade ago.
