Issue 182 of Woodcarving magazine is filled with a host of great articles for you. In our Projects section, Steve Bisco makes a Victorian fairground panel; Dave Western carves a hummingbird; Peter Benson makes a frog; Cedric Boyns carves a stylised raven spirit, inspired by the Russian Far East; Zoe Gertner relief carves a classic vehicle; Paul Adamson creates a shrink cup; John Samworth carves a seaside-themed mirror frame; Kevin Alviti makes and decorates a gardener’s tool tote; Alan Denham creates an aquatic scene of hunting otters; and Lee Stoffer shows how a wooden spoon can be transformed using simple applied carving.

We have some great Techniques pieces for you too. Mitch Peacock uses WDS’s Moxon Vice Hardware Kit with Ball Handles to build his new twin-screw vice; Nic Westermann demonstrates scraper sharpening techniques; and Anthony Bailey explains everything you need to know about bandsaws.

In Features, Ray Winder discusses his miniature carvings; the Grinling Gibbons Society describe their plans for a year-long celebration of the master carver’s work; and we take a closer look at Paris’ Palais Garnier.
