This woodworking art was done by my grandfather who started learning to use a jig saw at age 70. It is made of a very strong wood about 1/8th in thick. Each black space was created first by drilling a hole for the saw blade and then saw in the wood to make the design. It even has the old English spelling of one of words. Can you find it?
This hangs above the piano in our living room and is certainly one of our favorite pieces. My three brothers each have a copy as well as several of my cousins. Definitely a Kruse family treasure.
Glad you got it to upload! Looks good!
