Scrollers

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, taking just July and August 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.

We hope to hold hands-on beginners classes in 2021.
