I thought I had posted before but I can't find it so I guess I didn't. I live in Gander Newfoundland and have been scrolling for about 5 years now. I bought the scroll saw for my husband and he showed me how to use it because he prefers to do intarsia on the band saw. I like doing intarsia on the scroll saw because I want to keep my fingers trying to cut out the small pieces and I also do fretwork. I have also done some gift portraits for people where I make the pattern from a photo. I work for the Federal Government so this hobby is my stress reliever but I cannot buy any thin wood or other supplies or patterns here in town so I shop on the internet or go to Kents in St.John's for wood when I can but it is a long drive. I really like these sites to get ideas, help from other scrollers and you can't beat the free patterns these generous designers make for us! Thanks a lot!

It's nice to know there are other scrollers close to home :). I am from Spaniard's Bay and I also get my wood at Kent, especially the colored exotic types. I use 1/4 inch birch or oak that I buy locally for my fretwork projects,
( cheaper that Kent). Another site you should look at is scrollsawvillage.com. There is a lot of good things going on there as well.
