Re: Lookikng for scroll saw folks
I'mm sorry, I didn't get your PM. You did MUCH better with the goose than I could do. I've got a ton of patterns that I have accumulated that I'll go through and see if there are any geese. I have bought a lot of books that have given me a good base. Now I tend to get patterns mostly from the magazines that we either subscribe to or buy (almost every wood magazine published.) It seems like the latest scroll saw magazine (not sure of the actual name) or Creative Woodworks Craft magazine (the one with the Christmas ornaments) had a goose ornament pattern. The Creative Woodwork Crafts magazine always has a pull-out section of patterns. I get really good ideas/tips from all the woodworking magazines. My books and patterns are at home - I'll check later this week when I get there. You can buy books and at the woodworking stores, book stores, Amazon.com.... You can pick up the magazines everywhere from Walmart to Lowes/Home Depot, book stores woodworking stores.... Do an internet search for Canadian Goose scroll saw patterns and see what you get.
I also have several stained glass pattern books and quilting books/magazines. My goal for these are to convert them to some type of intarsia/marquetry/?? There are a couple of scroll saw MSN groups that I'll look up and send to you too. You might want to ignore a lot of the postings - they get a little snippy at each other so I mostly only use them for patterns.
I hope that's not too much info, and that I haven't broken any rules by naming specific publications or stores...
