cafe, and he photographed all the artists with their pieces of art.

If is heartwarming to see artists come together for such a caring project. These talented individuals can take pride in knowing that their artwork will help bring that little touch of home to our wounded soldiers. As Jesse says, "When you work from your heart, you work with passion, and that is what makes it true art."

the Black Hills, as well as teepees. Cut from 1/8"-fhick maple ply. the piece is glued to the tin base. Deer tracks, which are used as clan symbols, represent prosperity, safety, and shelter. They also indicate proximity to prey and are used as directional indicators. The pheasant tracks are significant because the ring-necked pheasant is South Dakota's sfate bird. Jesse cut templates for the deer and pheasant tracks, then stippled them onto the tin using gold painf, which represents Black Hills gold. He experimented with some tin punching with his j2 design in the bottom right corner.

The "Land That I Love" sign was also scrolled by Jesse on a 3/4"-thick piece of walnut.

Jesse's father, who was a master carpenter, first introduced Jesse to the world of woodworking, and Jesse was a carpenter in the USAF during his first 9 years of service. He started scrolling approximately 16 years ago, using an old, pinried-sfyle saw. He bought his 16" Delta scroll saw in 1995, which he still has. He hadn't done much scrolling until December, 2005, when he cut a Celtic cross piece for his wife to commemorate their 21st wedding anniversary. He "graduated" to an Excalibur-21 scroll saw and has cut over 50 pieces since then.

Jesse finds his background as a semi-professional photographer comes in handy with his woodworking and pattern making. It was also helpful as he documented the installation of the panels in the internet
