This page contains pictures of the projects that were entered in the 2002 SAW Conference Scrollsaw contest.  The contest was sponsored by SAW, Creative Woodworks and Crafts magazine, and Scroll Saw Workshop magazine.

The 2002 SAW Scrollsaw Contest was received very well on the West Coast. This was the first time the Contest had been held west of the Mississippi. 38 people entered 86 projects into the Scrollsaw Contest.  If the weather would have co-operated, the Contest would have been a total success. We did have some very disastrous results of some unusual weather overnight on Saturday.  Everyone was most gracious and understanding at the time. We have taken steps to INSURE that this situation Never occurs again.
