Hello - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

H. Leslie Simmons · 08-11-2012, 05:31 PM

Hello. My name is H. Leslie Simmons. Friends call me Les. I have produced many forms of art including scroll saw cuttings, intarsia, scratchboard, charcoal drawings, pen and ink drawings, sculpture, and more. Examples of my work are displayed in my blog at /H. Leslie Simmons – Artist
My primary current interest are portraits of pets in intarsia and people as scrollsaw cutouts. Attached is a copy of my latest intarsia pet portrait.
