The Scrolling Special Interest Group (legally a Committee) of the Woodworkers of Central New York, Inc. meets on the Third (3rd) Wednesday of the month.  For 2021, with Zoom we are adding more meetings including a rare August demonstration but taking July off. 

​The group conducts programs and other activities that focus on the art and craft of creating projects using the scroll saw.  The meetings are rather informal.  Sometimes there is a formal program and often a challenge given to each attendee after the program.  Always, each attendee brings pieces they've completed and ​the group has a lively discussion regarding their construction, challenges, and creation process.  Everyone is welcome to attend and participate.
