Hi and thank you for your warm wellcome.

Fretwork, also known as scroll saw, was a very popular hobby in England and other countries between 1880 and 1930. It consists in making intricate wooden objetcs with the help of a scroll saw. These saws have very thin blades that permit cutting very intricate forms. You can have a look at my web to get a much better idea of this. It is written in the signature.
