Woodcarving – Issue 202

Issue 202 of Woodcarving magazine is filled with a host of great articles for you.

Our Guest Editor, Kevin Alviti, welcomes you to the issue; carves some vegetable-themed kitchen magnets; and introduces carver and magician Bob Yorburg.

In our Projects section, Steve Bisco carves and paints a heraldic design; Dave Western makes a multi-bowled spoon; Cedric Boyns expands his range of whale tail jewellery display stands; Zoë Gertner finishes a ballerina carving for a former student; John Samworth creates a relief carving working from a photograph; and Peter Benson completes his carving of a boy playing on a rope swing.

In Techniques, Harald Lamon describes the process for carving a kuksa from green wood; Graham Thompson makes the case for freeform carving; Mark Palma provides an introduction to rotary tools and power carvers; and Frederick Wilbur shows to create an acanthus moulding.

In Features, we look at the Altarpiece of Veit Stoss, the largest Gothic altarpiece in St Mary’s Basilica, Kraków.

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