Welcome to the Home of Minnesota's Scroll Saw Artists

Next In-Person and Zoom meeting will be:

Saturday, April 6th, 2024, 9:30-11:30 AM

Next Program Topic: Troy Buchan will be giving a presentation regarding resawing lumber. Resawing lumber is the act of taking a board and sawing it vertically to make several thinner boards out of one thicker piece of stock. Resawing is a more cost-effective method used to create thinner stock than planning down a thicker board. Troy has been resawing lumber for over 6 years and has re-sawn hundreds of feet of lumber. In this presentation he will be going over how to prepare lumber to be resawn, the different tools and methods used, how to clean up the resawn pieces as well as how to properly calibrate your bandsaw for resawing.

North Star Scrollers

The North Star Scrollers club was established in Minnesota on April 4, 2009 as a non-profit membership organization 'to develop interest in and increase knowledge of scroll scroll sawing', including the techniques of intarsia, fretwork, marquetry, pyrography as well as a variety of related crafts. We invite anyone interested in sharing their knowledge and experience to join and learn along with us. Our membership forms a diverse community of helpful enthusiasts composed broadly by age, gender and experience including beginners and notable professionals. You need not join immediately to try us out. We encourage you to take us for a 'test drive'. We hold monthly meeting between September and May each year that consists of a short business meeting, Show & Tell and an informative program related to scroll sawing. Throughout the year we sponsor classes that highlight a variety of scroll sawing skills to members and non-members alike. In addition to our regular meetings, we publish a monthly newsletter, seek and distribute information on scroll sawing activities and participate in various shows and community projects.
