With a keen eye for detail and a devotion to realism seldom found in typical scroll saw patterns, Jeff Zaffino's designs are for the scroller who wants to take their work to the next level. Jeff enjoys the challenge of capturing minute detail in wood while constantly flirting with the stability of the piece. This fine line between Scroll Saw Art and what he likes to call "designer firewood" are what makes his patterns so appealing. Jeff is a self taught designer and scroll saw enthusiast. Drawing on the techniques pioneered by Gary Browning, in his book "Scroll Saw Portraits", and later expanded by Tom Mullane; Jeff is quickly becoming one of scrolling's most promising new designers. Jeff's work is featured in several of the leading scroll saw pattern catalogs and in "Creative Crafts and Woodworking Magazine".
