Woodcarving – Issue 211

Issue 211 of Woodcarving magazine is filled with a host of great articles for you.

Our Guest Editor, Kev Alviti, welcomes you to the issue; and carves a protective and decorative cover for his axe.

In our Projects section, Steve Bisco carves a Classical cresting with an Art Nouveau feel; Alan Denham makes a unicorn; Zoë Gertner turns up the heat with a campfire carving; Graham Thompson explores pyrotechnic shapes and techniques with a carving of a flaming bowl; John Samworth carves a face on a walking stick; Cedric Boyns makes a pair of stylised owls; Dave Western finishes his lovespoon; and Paolo Frattari begins work on a carving of a face divided into two different halves.

In Techniques, Peter Benson explains how to create the illusion of depth and perspective in relief carving.

In Features, former midwife Ceini Spiller explains how making a gift for her mother turned into a passion and a business; and we learn how fine hand tools fetched high prices at a recent auction at Gorringe’s.

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