Vacation Time

Hello Everyone. We wanted to let you know that we are now on vacation and the store has been put on-hold. This means that you can still look at all the products in the store however the buy now buttons are disabled.
We will be on vacation from July 8th - July 18th.

Have a great week and we will be back soon.

Trivia and Store Update

We kicked off the Monthly Trivia Game on March 1st. We have had 3 people with the correct answer so far. All the trivia rules and the question can be found on this blog. Make sure you don't miss out on the trivia question. Correct answers get you a special coupon code that can be used in the month of March.

We wanted to make sure that you also know about our website. http://www.PoppysScrollSawWoodwork.com

There is some very useful information on this site. You will find a New Woodwork tab that shows you the newest woodwork we have added to the store. The goal is that there can be new woodwork added at least once every two weeks or once a month. Either way, this tab gives you information about the new item and where it can be found in the store.
You will also find a Trivia tab. This will lead you to the rules of the Trivia Game and also has a form available for you to submit your answer.
A Comments tab lets you leave me any comments or questions that you might have. I will respond to you within 24 hours. I am off and on the computer working on things throughout the day so I will get back with you before you know it.
A tab called Poppys Woodwork has a slide show that runs on it. If you find a picture you like in the slide show, just click on it and you will have a link right into the store. I couldn't add a direct link to the product however the way the store is set up with categories and sub- categories, it should be pretty easy to find what you are looking for.

We also have our own email address to send me any questions or comments.
kelly@poppysscrollsawwoodwork.com
I check this email throughout the day.

We want to make your experience great. We want things to be simple for you to find and want you to feel like a part of our family.

I like the challenge that scroll saw woodwork brings. To me it is very relaxing and in general I like working with wood.

Train Plaque

This handmade scroll Train plaque is 18" by 11"w. The cutout is made of baltic birch. The background is black which brings the picture to life. The smoke is made from a stain. This plaque is a great example of how much detail can go into a picture using a scroll saw. There are many very delicate and intricate cuts.
