Woodcarving Magazine

Issue 216 of Woodcarving magazine is filled with a host of great articles for you. Our Guest Editor, Peter Benson, welcomes you to the issue; and shares a special Christmas carving of a snowboarding Santa!

In our Projects section, Steve Bisco carves a piece of tracery inspired by the American Gothic style; Dave Western carves an image based on a 2,500-year-old mummy’s tattoo; Alan Denham makes a mirror frame with a carved fisherman; John Samworth restores a portico by replicating damaged moulding; Cedric Boyns adds a bear to a welcome sign; Zoë Gertner carves the horizontal grain on a dock leaf; and Kevin Alviti makes a sign for his pig sty.

In Techniques, Peter Benson explains how to carve figures in motion.

In Features, Jade Beecroft meets Armenian woodcarver Georgy Metichian, whose passion for history and restoration also inspires his own original pieces; wood artist Nik Keevil tells us how he is turning his passion for print into works of art; and we review a selection of books to add to your wishlist.

We also have updates from the carving community and a peek at our next issue.
