Welcome to Amazed Creations
A website featuring the wooden scrollsawed artwork, paintings and various creative ventures of Canadian Scrollsaw artist Dave Danchuk.
The majority of his artwork is made by using a scrollsaw to cut up a piece of wood into hundreds of small twisting pieces of wood. These pieces are then hand painted using acrylic paints and finally glued back together to form crisp, colorful designs.
Dave lives in Coquitlam, BC with his wife Annabel and their two children, Maya and Zack.
A scrollsawed piece done of my sister-in-law Simone, 3ft x 2ft, 310 pieces, cut out and painted with acrylics.
Progression pictures are here
Dave competed in the second Golden Brush Painting Competition on October 2nd, 2010. 15 artists, painting in teams of 3. Dave's team won. For pictures of the event, please check out www.capuletart.com
Here's a video of the paintings about 10 minutes into the event:
Dave was featured in Scrollsaw Woodworking & Crafts magazine's Spring 2009 issue.
