What is Barefoot Woodworks?
Barefoot Woodworks is the venue for my hobby and in time where I
will sell my creations.  I run this small shop out my garage for fun.  I
started scroll sawing in May of 2004 and have developed a serious
interest in this art form.  About 5 years ago I got a Dremel scroll saw
for my birthday.  I put it in the shop and used it for small projects
around the house.  I attempted to find out about real scrolling but
never seemed to find the right resource.   Then it all really came
together with a trip to the local mega-hardware store.  My wife and I
were perusing the aisles when we came across the magazine rack.  
I found a copy of ScrollSaw Workshop.  The rest is now history as I
completed the bear, the trout puzzle, 2 wall sconces and the
Antique Japanese Mantle clock to the right.  



Where did you get that name?
It came in a vision!  No, not really, I spend almost of my time
barefoot, it is just the way I am.  I know, not for everyone.  My wife
calls me a hillbilly, like that is a bad thing???.   I do wear shoes, just
not willingly and definitely not at home, only when I have to go out
in public with my wife!  I really think that being barefoot is healthier
for the soul as well as the sole!
What I really enjoy about this hobby is simply working with wood.  I have always admired those who
possessed the mysterious talents of wood craft.  I have a couple of cousins that actually have real talent in
this area and make their living from it.  From quality custom furniture to beautiful custom cabinetry it has
always fascinated me.  I love the look and feel of beautifully finished wood, the lines of the piece itself.   
Wood was once living and in a way it continues to live in the finished piece.  As I learn more about wood
and understand that it continues to change with time and why, it draws me into it even more.  God created
it, it is beautiful, and hopefully he has bestowed upon me some minuscule talent to work with it and create
something beautiful out of it that will bring joy to others.
