Woodcarving – Issue 209

Issue 209 of Woodcarving magazine is filled with a host of great articles for you.

Our Guest Editor, Graham Thompson, welcomes you to the issue; and makes a relief carving of a hare.

In our Projects section, Jean-Jacques Frézouls sculpts a bas-relief representing St Padré Pio; Dave Western decorates a breadboard with a peacock design; Zoë Gertner carves onions and shallots in the round; Kev Alviti makes a dice tower for board games; John Samworth creates a dreamscape; and Steve Bisco carves a low-relief panel in the18th-century Neo-Classical style.

In Techniques, Peter Benson introduces relief carving; Dave Western demonstrates the craft of kolrosing; and Christine Deussen-McCall explains how to carve gourds.

In Features, we talk to Angel Nanchev, who specialises in traditional and modern ornamental woodcarving; and we take a closer look at two pieces by master carver Grinling Gibbons.

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