The late Patrick Spielman has written more than 60 books.

Designing scroll saw mosaic patterns and pieces can be described as a passionate pastime for Frank Droege. His first love is painting, however, and over the years he has won numerous awards as a traditional painter. Frank studied under George Vail from the Haddonfield Art League and Max Gottlieb at the Fleisher Art Memorial in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He currently paints miniature art and has recently become an award-winning artist in the field.
Frank lives in Voorhees, New Jersey, with his wife and daughters. Inquiries about his artwork can be addressed directly to Frank at 306 Kresson-Gibbsboro Road, Voorhees, NJ 08043.

Dirk Boelman owns and operates the Art Factory.

In addition to maintaining a terrific website (www.scrollsaws.com), Rick Hutcheson of Grimes, Iowa, redraws old out-of-print scroll saw patterns from old catalog pictures to make new patterns.

Judy Gale Roberts was born in Houston, Texas. She attended Houston's Museum of Fine Arts School but eventually elected to study art "hands-on" with her artist/sculptor father, Pat Dudley Roberts. Throughout the 70's they created intarsia murals, etched glass and sculptures in metals for architects. Early on, Judy recognized that she enjoyed bringing wood to life by shaping it, working with grains and colors

Judy Gale Roberts and Jerry Booher are artists and woodworking instructors who specialize in intarsia. They are the authors of Easy to Make Inlay Wood Projects Intarsia, Intarsia: Artistry in Wood, Intarsia Workbook, and Small Intarsia. Judy Gayle Roberts is a member of the Better Homes and Gardens' Wood magazine's Woodworking Hall of Fame. She is credited with the resurgence of intarsia through her books, classes, design studio, and newsletters. They both live in Seymour, Tennessee.

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.
