In our Projects section, Steve Bisco carves a limewood festoon for the Grinling Gibbons tercentenary; Dave Western makes two Georgian-style combs; Peter Benson introduces the craft of Netsuke and carves a turtle dove; Lee Stoffer finishes his sycamore cooking spoon; Paul Adamson shows us how to make a shrink cup; Zoe Gertner carves a doll’s pram; Mark Gough makes a hiking stick; and Cedric Boyns carves a stylised walrus.

We have some great Techniques pieces for you too. John Samworth concludes his series on deep relief carving; Graham Thompson demonstrates how to carve a convincing human likeness; and Nic Westermann sharpens a Mora hook knife.

In Features, Iain Whittington researches the history of Norwegian carving; Simon O’Rourke tells us about his sci-fi inspired chainsaw art; and we take a closer look at the Notre-Dame Basilica of Montreal.
