Woodcarving Magazine Issue 205 Back Issue

Issue 205 of Woodcarving magazine is filled with a host of great articles for you. Our Guest Editor, Steve Bisco, welcomes you to this issue; carves and gilds a clock case in the 18th-century Rococo style; and shares his guide to working with gold leaf.


In our Projects section, Mark Gough makes an Art Deco-style mask; Zoë Gertner carves an owl perched in a chapel window; Kevin Alviti makes a crocodile-themed bird feeder; and David Sabol uses power carving, woodburning and painting to make a baby rabbit.


In Techniques, Peter Benson begins a new series with a guide to choosing and using knives; Dave Western offers tips on carving Celtic-style knotwork; Nic Westermann tries his best to reduce sharpening effort; and John Samworth delves into varied toolmarks and how they are created.


In Features, Alexander Thomson meets versatile Australian carver and turner Andrew Daniels, who is inspired by the treasures of the natural world; we learn about the life and work of German sculptor Veit Stoss; and we look at a finely carved antique Chinese dragon box.


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