Scrolling is a craft for all levels of expertice.
It covers everything from cutting simple shapes like circles apples and animals, to multidemensional intricate fretwork. Each aspect of scrolling has its own specific requirements. The fitting of intarsia and segmentation, the grain selection of the wood you are going to cut, based of the project you are making, the blade selection, speed of saw, the list is alsmost endless.
I would list the types of scrollers as
I know I put myself under the Amateur heading because I love the work and I am always looking to learn more. I would like to see what other people think about the professional and Master categories.
Is a person a Master when they complete a project like the "Dome Clock" or is it the accumulation of all the knowledge they need to undertake any scrolling task?
