We have been creating scroll saw art puzzles since 1984. All work is both our design and creation. Each puzzle is individually cut by hand on a scroll saw, sanded, stained and painted, resulting in a unique work of art. With respect to our natural world as well as human-kind our work is safe and non-toxic. Our designs reflect our love of nature as well as the people. Many new designs each year are inspired by the colors and shapes that surround us. It is our joy to share our journey and our mission to put a smile on the faces we meet.

Robert (Bob) and Dominique have been partners in this artistic journey for the last 40+ years. Traditional tools and techniques were their choice in the fabrication of wooden cooking utensils, prep and serving boards and wooden vessels and many more… They created long lasting heirlooms.
