Ornaments can be simple cutouts—like the cutout of a sleigh—or small miniatures or jewelry.

What is segmentation? Segmentation is something I developed a long time ago. It is taking an object and dividing it into distinct parts. For example, a fish might have the body, fin, and tail. You put the pattern on a single solid board and cut it into pieces. Then you handle the pieces individually. You can stain or paint them different colors, or you can round the edges. Next, you piece the assembly back together and glue a thin backing on it.

How is segmentation different from intarsia? Intarsia uses different colors of natural wood and fits different pieces together to create the final assembly, ifs more involved because there is more fitting of pieces. With segmentation, when you cut the pieces out, one piece naturally fits next to the other because that is where it came from. With intarsia, each new piece or color of wood has to be fitted to the adjoining pieces.

What's in the future for scroll sawing? This is an interesting field because much of what we are doing today was being done 130 years ago, such as fretwork and simple cutouts. These types of projects have evolved in and of themselves, but new ideas are beginning to emerge, too. For example, I developed a type of joinery that uses the scroll saw. I think we're really just beginning to discover the applications of not only the scroll saw, but of the many materials that can be scroll sawn.

What kinds of materials?

Metal is a good example of a scroll sawing material—the term covers such a broad field, and therefore has many applications. Leather, cardboard, and plastics are great materials to work with as well. From these and many other types of materials, beautiful work can be done, but each requires spe-techniques which I plan to explore in my

cia

newsletter and in future books.

Can you give us a preview of any upcoming books? Dan Kihl and I have co-authored a book called Artistic Scroll Saw Patterns which is due out this fall. I'm also working on a book called Instant Scroll Saw Projects. The book will consist of simple cutouts, but the patterns themselves will look painted and fin-shed, so the project can be completed almost nstantly. I hope to nave this book out soon. g|
