from carver to scroller

[jheille]

did a bunch of whittling then picked up a scroll saw and never looked back. Not to say I'll never carve again but I love scrolling so...

Thanks, and yes I have spent hours watching them.  I will get started with "Sharonmyart"  soon.  Looks like about my speed.  There are some great videos out there.

I love those. Seems to me that would take more natural ability than scrolling. I mean I can't draw a decent looking Santa so I wouldn't think that I could carve one.

Don't get me wrong, I love scrolling and I think I am pretty good at the fret work stuff, but the painters and carvers, in my opinion have more talent in their little fingers than I have in my whole body.  I can maneuver a piece of wood to cut out the black, but that is mechanical  compared to carving a piece of wood into a neat form or painting a picture,,,,, well I use to do paint by numbers pretty well...  But you know, I am old enough now that I don't need approval, so I am going to try carving and only I need to approve of what I produce... No one else has to even see it.  By the way, I recently purchased a couple detail knife blades and made handles for them.  I already cut myself just wrapping them up to put them away.  I think my username may go from Scrappile to 3fingers......
