Woodcarving – Issue 203

Issue 203 of Woodcarving magazine is filled with a host of great articles for you.

Our Guest Editor, Harald Lamon, welcomes readers to the issue and tells us why he loves working with green wood.

In our Projects section, Steve Bisco carves an oak-leaf shaped bowl from a piece of oak; Kevin Alviti makes a hedgehog relief carving for a wildlife shelter; Zoë Gertner carves a clover leaf; Dave Western pays homage to his artist father with an abstract seated figure; Cedric Boyns makes jewellery display stands for rings; Peter Benson carves a cheetah; and Frank Fox-Wilson carves and stains a sea turtle.

In Techniques, John Samworth continues his series on making relief carvings from photos with a picture of his pet dog; and Nic Westermann explores the issue of green wood shrinkage.

In Features, we showcase some of the outstanding works from the Wood Symphony Gallery’s Contrast and Balance exhibition; and we take a closer look at ancient Egyptian hedgehog amulets.

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