Woodcarving – Issue 188

Issue 188 of Woodcarving magazine is filled with a host of great articles for you.

Our Guest Editor, Kevin Alviti, makes a decorative butter mould; interviews world-renowned master carver, Chris Pye; and reviews Chris’ woodcarving tutorials.

In our Projects section, Steve Bisco carves a Gothic-style Green Man; Dave Western uses an interweaving technique to make a spectacular whale; Graham Thompson combines his love of carving with his interest in landscapes to create a 3D sculpture; Oliver Richardson carves a cute Bichon Frise dog; Zoe Gertner completes her watering can project by adding the fine details; Iain Whittington carves a Nordic-style horse on a handle; Peter Benson whittles an owl head walking stick; and Cynthia Rogers carves a tree frog.

In Techniques, Nic Westermann opens his Sharpening Clinic and invites a carver to his workshop to help with a troublesome tool.

In Features, Will Barsley visits the carvers of Laos; and we take a closer look at the carvings on Wat Sensoukaram in Luang Prabang.

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