Vernon Brown has been an avid woodworker since his younger days. In 1994, he bought a scroll saw—a purchase that, in his words, "changed his life." The next year, he published the original version of "Scroll Saw by Land, Sea & Air" and started a new pattern catalog. The Wooden Teddy Bear Collection. Vernon enjoys creating new patterns of intarsia, fretwork, shelves, and clocks, to name a few. All of his pattern can be found in the Wooden Teddy Bear's catalog, which currently contains well over 500 patterns, blades, and other accessories for scrollers. To request a copy of the Wooden Teddy Bear catalog, call (888) 762-9149 or e-mail woodenteddybear@pobox.com. Vernon also maintains a website at www.woodenteddybear.com.
