11/14/2009 - I have added
my new ebook, "Wood Shells - A New Art Form" to my sale page. This ebook gives detailed instructions on how
to make very unique wood shells like the ones I have made. They are made using a scrollsaw and/or bandsaw along with
a few miscellaneous tools for shaping, sanding, etc... I don't think that anyone who has seen the construction process
would say that it is difficult, but it does take some patience. Lots of people have asked for this so here it is! This
is not just the most basic technique, it covers the modifications I have made to it over the years to include the advanced
techniques used for the shells shown on this page.
4/10/2012 - I have an article in the
Summer 2012 issue of Scrollsaw Woodworking and Craft magazine that shows how to make a basic shell. It will be on newwstands
starting in the middle of April until sometime in July. If you'd like to try it out before buying the full version
ebook then this is a good way to get a feel for how it works and decide whether or not you like it. The full version
describes how to change the height to width ratio of a shell to make shells that are taller and narrower than a
shell made with the basic method.

The shell pictured above is the result of a new experimental construction technique. The wood is Eastern Red Cedar
and I wasn't really expecting it to turn out looking this nice.
