Retired communications engineer, musician (plays trumpet in a concert band), operates a small cattle ranch, webmaster, portrait in wood scroll artist. Jerry began working with the scroll saw in the early 1990's and has been developing his own unique style in preserving memories in wood. His talent in the creation of custom designs of patterns for the scroll saw has also drawn the interest of other scroll artists. |
| After his father's death in 2002 and while reading his father's "Book of Remembrance," Jerry found the fountain pen that was a gift to his father upon his graduation from high school in 1920. This pen had been saved for over 80 years and was treasured. This find sparked Jerry's interest in creating fine writing instruments on the wood lathe and a new activity was soon underway in the studio. |
