 The Project: Amiens Cathedral Clock
Medium: Wood Scroll Sawing
By: Bob Weikel
The art of Scroll sawing has become a part of many lives, some as a hobby and some as income producing pastime. But to Bob Weikel of Fort Wayne, Indiana, it’s a way of life. After many years in the construction industry, Bob in his early 80’s decided to take on the construction of the Amiens Cathedral (Scroll saw version of course).
He claims he did it in just over 200 hours, but he won’t tell us his definition of the word JUST! You can contact Bob through ron@oaktreesupplies.com.
