Montana Jane

Soon to be 79, a widow living in Montana where my heart is. I have always loved "wood". I started building a few things, simple things like bookshelves in 1980. Fast forward to about 1985 when I started collecting wood tools and became fascinated with the scroll saw. Adult night classes in woodworking taught me tool safety, joinery, etc., etc. I kept asking the instructor to teach me how to use the saw and he kept putting me off. I look back now and think - he probably didn't know how to use one.
Now, my heart and passion is into detailed scroll sawing and on maple burl slabs. I have my own "she shed" which is full of woodworking tools and sawdust. Not much domestic in there. Once upon a time, I had an old-timer teach me how to use the lathe, and I still have it but the scroll saw keeps calling my name to the corner where both of my saws are. I started with a Delta 16" and when the burl slabs came about, I bought a 30" Excalibur (go big or go home, I guess), then updated to a new 30" Excalibur, which I still have and a few years ago, I bought a Seyco from Seyco in Texas because the parts were starting to get hard to find for the Excalibur.
