I am Jim Burk from Rapid City, SD. I just started into scroll saw work. I fellow worker told me about it and how she and her husband were in the Rapid City Woodworkers Club. My son bought himself and me memberships. This club spends most of the year making wooden toys to give to local kids. I have only attended one meeting and one workshop but I feel I am going to enjoy being part of this great organization.
I have always been interested in woodworking since taking woodshop in high school (we won't mention how long ago that was). I got into woodworking repurposing a door and antique table legs into a table for my son's wedding. I have built quite a few frames and even an oak door leaf table. The last two years I have really enjoyed wood burning. I started just burning but now I add color to the pictures. Most of what I have done has been for presents or donated for auction for fund raisers.
My biggest project so far was a grandfather clock made from white oak. It took 180 hours to do.
