Woodcarving – Issue 214 (Current Issue)

Issue 214 of Woodcarving magazine is filled with a host of great articles for you.

Our Guest Editor, Cedric Boyns, welcomes you to the issue; makes a pierced stemmed bowl; and carves a bird sculpture.

In our Projects section, Steve Bisco carves an oak pierced panel inspired by one of Aesop’s fables; Zoë Gertner recreates a dustpan and brush; Mick Stidever creates a relief-carved jungle scene; John Samworth captures the swagger of a bison; Kevin Alviti carves a star-shaped school award; Paolo Frattari continues his head sculpture; and Dave Western carves a wolf moon.

In Techniques, Peter Benson discusses the benefits of stepping into the unknown.

In Features, we learn about woodcarver, sculptor and artist Gary Field’s quest to rescue Australia’s discarded wood and reimagine its history through nature’s organic shapes; we review Dave Western’s new book, Carved Lovespoons; Nic Westermann reports from the Midlands Woodworking Show; and Steve McAndrew, secretary of the Cleveland Carving Club, asks Andy King about how he became a carver.

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