Woodcarving Magazine

Issue 215 of Woodcarving magazine is filled with a host of great articles for you. Our Guest Editor, Zoë Gertner, welcomes you to the issue; and carves a dock leaf in relief as a practice project for carving foliage.

In our Projects section, Steve Bisco carves a Green Man; Kevin Alviti personalises a serving board as a wedding gift; Dave Western carves spoons inspired by Breton lace; John Samworth makes a moose from contrasting timbers; Cedric Boyns carves a pair of penguins; and Paolo Frattari completes the work on his intricate head sculpture.

In Techniques, Peter Benson offers some invaluable advice on how to be a good carver – and it doesn’t involve fancy tools.

In Features, we showcase the carving talents of wildfowl artist Pat Godin; Steve McAndrew, secretary of the Cleveland Carving Club, finds out how club members Ken Gerrard and Ray Smith came to carving; we look at some of the pieces from the Wood Symphony Gallery’s Turned and Sculpted wood exhibition; and, inspired by Steve Bisco’s project, we take a look at foliate heads in various forms.

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