Hi, after lurkin in the shadows I’ve joined.
I'm pretty new to scroll work, My love of wood comes from my dad who was a cabinet maker till 3 years ago, I’ve taken up the scroll saw as an extension of my art. I have been sculpting and painting now for 25 years. So now I think I’m ready for wood.

Hi altern8art! Welcome to the forum. What sort of stuff are you making?

Welcome, altern8art. Perhaps your art background will produce some new and interesting work. Hope to see some of your stuff.

[altern8art]

Thanks for the warm welcome, I am base just near whitby.
up till now most of the stuff I've done is fantasy or wildlife sculpting and along with it come's plenty of pencil work, I hope this will translate well into scroll work. I'm working on some patterns right now and hope maybe to offer them for download, well see how I progress.
Most of my scroll work has been along side my dad, doing inlays for him as well as trying my hand in marquetry.

Regards Pete

Sounds interesting, Pete. And that's a nice part of Yorkshire to be in - I always liked the drive over the N Yorks Moors from Pickering to Whitby.

I only ever got to eat the fish & chips in Whitby once. But they were soooo memorably tasty!

Welcome to the forum, Pete . I'm looking forward to learning more about your artwork and seeing how it informs your scrolling.

Why did you have to say that Gill? Now I'm craving Yorkshire fish and chips ....

... with mushy peas?

... with mushy peas?

Yuk no - just salt and vinegar ...

There are very few foods I don't like - think Human garbage Bin - but I don't like peas in any form .. and definitely not mushy ...

I like mushy baked beans ....
