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

I must start off by stating that as a novice to the world of scroll sawing, I found this workbook to be very informative and an ideal aid in learning the basic foundations of Intarsia woodworking.

Ms. Roberts and Mr. Booher provide knowledgeable tutoring on all the various aspects of wood and scroll saw blade selection. They also guide you through every step of a project in a clear and precise manner. This is one workbook that I would recommend for anyone who is interested in making Intarsia projects.
