by Robert A. Becker Our good friends, Boy and Scott of Scroller Ltd., have certainly been busy recently...busy being an extremely influential force in the world of scroll sawing! Three-dimensional scrolling Scroller Ltci.'s original contribution of 3-D scroll saw patterns, which most of you art: familiar with by now, is still very much alive and well. In fact, their patterns seem to gel better all the lime! Some of you have found that adding a bit of color lo Iheir projects also does much to enhance: their beauty. And talk about mass appeal! Some of the best-selling issues of Creative Woodworks and Crafts have featured Scrollcr's projects on their covers. Into high gear for '98 Three-dimensional scroll sawing, in and of itself, is a very big contribution to the woodworking market, but Roy and Scott have put their creativity into overdrive for this year. Specifically, they purchased the pattern business of scroll saw "guru" John Nelson this past summer. Two of the "'jewels" obtained in this deal were John's scroll sawn wooden baskets and his newsletter, Scroll Saw News. From the moment these gems were acquired. Roy and Scott have been busy polishing them to a high luster. Wooden baskets These now famous baskets actually look hand-woven, yet arc made with a scroll saw! Ever sincc Scroller began to market these baskets, they have been a huge success. One big reason for this is that they are not hard to make. You don't have to be an "expert" scroll sawyer, nor do you need a farcy saw to make these baskets—any single-speed saw will do. Each layer is cut individually, then the layers are glued together to form the completed project. Customers have been buying basket patterns so fast and loving the results so much that Scroller recently developed 48 new wooden basket designs. Shown on the opposite page are just a few. The Newsletter Since acquiring Scroll Saw News from the Nelsons, Scroller has published two issues, and each installment is a real joy to read.
