Hello and welcome to my shop!

My name is Jay Roberts. As a scroll saw artist I combine creativity with a passion for woodworking to produce my unique art. I work from digital photos of celebrities, couples, kids, pets, friends, and families to create one-of-a-kind, realistic wooden portraits. Much of my most recent work is featured in my shop. Each portrait is professionally hand cut THROUGH a sheet of beautifully grained Baltic birch then sanded, sealed, finished and framed. I don't use lasers or CNC (Computer Numerical Control) to produce any of my art. Please watch my video for a demonstration.

Each portrait is created in a single cutting from a stack of 4 boards. This is the second of four available for this piece. Once all 4 are sold I will not recreate the same portrait. Those who own a piece have something extremely limited and unique. For anyone interested, I would be happy to create a different portrait of the same individual.

If you seek to commission a kids portrait, couple portrait, pet portrait, friend or family portrait …don't hesitate to send me a request. (jmrdesigns14@gmail.com)
