Scrolling (Also referred to as Fret work)

These Sea horses were cut from 3/8 oak and are about 10 inches high and 8 wide. They are backed with treated colored paper. It is a decoration on the wall of the master bath in my home.

The Gothic Cross on the right is an adaptation I came up with from a piece of jewelry. Here again, it is cut from 3/8 oak and is 10 inches by 7, backed with treated black paper. It is a decoration in the guest bathroom of my home.

These three pictures are 9 by 12 inches. The details are cut from 1/8 inch plywood, sanded and painted. Then the details are stacked to make a 3 dimentional picture. Mounted on a 1/4 inch plywood backing, then framed.

This is the biggest scrolling project I have done so far. 22 inches wide, 10 deep and 51 inches tall. As you can see, it is a clock. It took seven months of planning and construction. The woods used were pine, poplar, birch ply, mahogany ply, and fir ply.

 It is wired with neon lights. The picture on the right was taken at night in a dark room without flash.  I will never do a projet like this again or even one close to it. There is a major commitment of time and labor involved.
