Still a resident of her much-loved Mobile, Alabama, Diana Thompson is an avid scroller and designer, focusing especially on compound cutting. She began scrolling several years ago when she experimented on her husband's old scroll saw while he was at work. Since then, she has written four books on compound designs, and her husband, Bob, has bought five scroll saws just for her. When she's not scrolling, Diana finds time to escape to the golf course. You can see more of her work online at www.scrollsawinspirations.com.
