Woodcarving Magazine Issue 200 Edizione posteriore

We are celebrating our 200th issue of Woodcarving magazine with a host of great articles for you. Our Guest Editor, Steve Bisco, welcomes you to the issue; carves a limewood music trophy in the Grinling Gibbons style; makes a drawer handle in oak; and interviews prize-winning professional carver Thomas Ball.

In our Projects section, Kevin Alviti makes a fossil relief carving; Cedric Boyns makes a Viking ghost head; Jean-Jacques Frézouls sculpts a baby in ronde-bosse style to mark the birth of his granddaughter; Zoë Gertner makes a broody hen in a basket; and Peter Benson carves an albatross on the wing.

In Techniques, Frederick Wilbur demonstrates how to carve ovolo mouldings; and Nic Westermann tests sharpening edges at different grits.

In Features, we review Peter Benson’s new whittling book; we meet hobbyist carver Caleb Hoffman, who brings out the lighter side of his subjects; and Dave Western makes the case for putting some heart into carving. To celebrate our 200th issue, we look back on our favourite Woodcarving covers and we have books and toolsets to give away.

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

All this and more in Woodcarving magazine 200!
