About the Author

Charles Hand started scrolling, and designing his own patterns in 2005. Over the years, his designs became more involved as he studied the works of other designers and artists, developing his own style. He carries his camera with him in case he sees something that he might want to make a design out of for scroll sawing. A few years ago Charles built a website for his designs, which he now sells all over the world.
