Meet the Maker
I am a 20-year USAF veteran, during which time I worked in air defense as a radar electronics technician and technical inspector. After leaving the Air Force, I had a second career and retired after 28 years as a Systems Programmer/Linux Administrator.
I am 75 and have been making things from wood since childhood. I make and sell wooden toys, ornaments, puzzles, clocks, fretwork, scrollsaw art, baskets, small animal cutouts, custom orders, and anything that catches my attention. Some of my best ideas have come from customers.
I have eclectic taste in music. I like a lot of kinds of music, but I am particularly fond of blues guitar. I am a competition shooter and regularly shoot in Smallbore Rifle and Pistol Silhouette matches and Steel Challenge. I like to pretend I can play the guitar.
I have two grandchildren, my grandson Odin and my granddaughter River.
How it’s Made
To create crosses, I start by making patterns and attaching them to the material with spray adhesive. Each pattern is cut roughly to a size that can fit on my scroll saw and drill press. Then, I cut the outside of the cross to the pattern line. For internal cuts, I use a tiny drill bit on the drill press to drill blade access holes for the scroll saw blade. Each internal cut requires a blade change, and there can be as many as 50 in a single cross. Once all the internal cuts are done, I remove the pattern and clean up any leftover adhesive. Next, I remove any fuzzies caused by the saw blade and do any required sanding. The end result is a beautiful and intricate cross.
