Larry and Cheryl Saari enjoyed participating in the Holiday Marketplace bazaar at Washougal High School, Nov. 15. They sold Christmas ornaments and other wood art that Larry created by hand with a scroll saw.

A retired Camas-Washougal Fire Department captain is enjoying a hobby that brings joy to his friends, family and new acquaintances.

Larry Saari, 58, found out about scroll saw work more than 10 years ago from a longtime family friend, Frank Knighton, of Fern Prairie.
