ricklab Posted December 22, 2015 Report Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) Hi. I am from the High Country of NC. I am retired and live a few miles from the Blue ridge Parkway with my wife of 45 years. We are up at 3500' so the climate here in the 'south' is very similar to my birthplace, Chicopee, MA in Western MA. We are about 90 miles northeast of Charlotte, NC and we love it here. I have been working intarsia for about a year now and I am doing some scroll saw cutouts also I have posted in the gallery under labonteart some of the things I have done. I attended a 3 day class on Intarsia at the Judy Roberts Studio in Tn. last Oct. and that was most interesting and enjoyable. Looking forward to learning a lot from all of you Rick Edited December 23, 2015 by ricklab Scrolling Steve 1 Quote

heppnerguy Posted December 28, 2015 Report Posted December 28, 2015 Welcome Rick. I too enjoy making an occasional intarsia piece but I have never had the privilage to attending any of JGR classes. I am a little familiar with your area because I was stationed at Fort Bragg, near Fayetteville, (sp) for almost three years. I hope you log on often because we then can get to know everyone better, that way. Explore all the nooks and crannies and give some of our free patterns a shot. Glad you are here Dick heppnerguy Quote

I lived in North Carolina and think it is beautiful place to live. In a little fairness, my wife was not overwhelmed by it because she likes the plains, open fields, grasslands... It is tourist/vacation land. john shankel 1 Quote
Malcolm161 Posted January 18, 2016 Report Posted January 18, 2016 Hi Rick, welcome to SSV. I am also a new mwmber, but across the pond in the UK. Not done a lot with the scrollsaw, but would like to get into making intarsia this year whilst still making a few of my bandsaw boxes. I am retired and only got into woodworking 2 years ago and it is so much fun. See you aroun Malcolm http://www.badgerwoodcrafters.co.uk Quote
