Woodcarving Magazine

Issue 207 of Woodcarving magazine is filled with a host of great articles for you. Our Guest Editor, Mark Gough, welcomes you to the issue; and carves a combined paperweight and pen holder in the shape of a Corinthian warrior.

In our Projects section, Steve Bisco makes a pierced oak panel in the Late Medieval Gothic style; Zoë Gertner carves broad beans; Dave Western uses his imagination to make a frog-themed carving; John Samworth deceives the eye with a tower of ‘stones’; and Kevin Alviti makes the blocks for a charity block-printing event.

In Techniques, Graham Thompson attempts a royal portrait and explains how you could try something similar; and Peter Benson discusses carving in the round.

In Features, Alexander Thomson meets chainsaw carver Lorcan O’Byrne-Nestor; while Kurt Hertzog shares his advice for buying a chainsaw; we review Peter Benson’s new book, Whittling Wildlife; Alexander Thomson learns about carvings and engravings from native cultures; and we share an extract from the updated edition of Terry Porter’s Wood Identification & Use.

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