About the Author

Dr. Jeff Paxton lives in Russellville, Arkansas, where he serves as the Senior Pastor of the First Baptist Church of Dover. In his time away from church work, Jeff enjoys spending time with his wife, Marci, and their two children, Austin and Ashley. He also operates Paxton's Portraits and Projects, a small business from his home that primarily consists of Christian scrollwork and personal portraits cut in wood. He also sells his scrollwork in two booths at a local Collector's Gallery Craft Mall and, as time permits, works several craft shows throughout the year. This is his first book for Fox Chapel Publishing Company.

This fall I made several of Dr. Paxton's patterns for Christmas gifts and have received more feedback in one month than I received in the last three years. These are patterns that even a beginner can make.
