New website to sell patterns coming soon...

I have a domain name.  I have a server.  Now I just need to put together my website.  I am the new US/Canadian distributer for Volker Arnold patterns and this is what I will be selling on the website.  Eventually I hope to have other items to sell.  But for now, this will be the focus.  When it is up and running I will post the address.  Here is the website for Volker's patterns in Germany:

Sports Logos

So of course, once I start doing custom pieces everyone wants me to do their favorite sports team.  There are some pretty neat ones out there.  Here are a few more of my favorites.  Karen is glad that I do more wookwork than sitting around watching sports!  I must admit that I get a lot more enjoyment out of cutting out the Raiders Logo than watching them score a touchdown!

They make GREAT christmas ornaments.

Scrolling in the Southwest

As a pharmacist with the US Public Health Service, I work with a lot of Native Americans.  I have incorporated a lot of southwest patterns into my woodwork.  Here is a sample of the projects that I have enjoyed the most.

My masterpiece

Thanks Karen for giving me a little corner of your blog!  I have been scrollsawing for 10 years now and LOVE the spectacular things I can do with wood that I NEVER thought were possible.

When asked about my favorite project, there is no question that it's the Victorian Clock that took me TWO years to finally complete.  I have been in a couple of county and state fairs and always leave with a few blue ribbons.  Karen's dad introduced me to this wonderful skill and he gave me my first scrollsaw as a graduation present once I completed pharmacy school.
