Woodcarving Magazine Issue 208 Edizione posteriore

Issue 208 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 the graceful, spiral form of a ‘living fossil’ sea creature.

In our Projects section, Mark Gough carves a music-inspired piece of wall art; Steve Bisco carves a Classical swirl; Kevin Alviti adds a decorative panel to his beehive; John Samworth creates an idyllic cabin scene; and in an extract from his new book, Whittling Wildlife, Peter Benson carves an octopus.

In Techniques, Dave Western demonstrates doming, hollowing and curving for Celtic knots; Peter Benson shares tips for carving animals; Steve Bisco explains how to carve linenfolds; and Nic Westermann tries out a few techniques for closing and disguising faults in wood.

In Features, Alexander Thomson meets Zencarving founder Aleksei Kobzev; five lovespoon carvers explain why they are so committed to the craft; and we take a closer look at a Northwest Coast totem pole.

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