About the cover:
The outstanding bluegill carving on the cover is the work of Wanda Rushing Reichert from Sherman, Texas. The step-by-step project is featured on page 40 of this issue. The entire carving stands close to 10" tall and is carved from basswood. Wanda has been carving for twenty years. She shares her carving knowledge by teaching classes and workshops throughout the United States. The cover photo was taken by Chris Whillock, Faribault, MN.

Commission Carving
by Ivan Whillock
I love the projects in this issue: A Bark House by Karen Henderson, a Bluegill by Wanda Rushing Reichert, a Chestnut Clock by Paul Rolfe, and a Chip-Carved Pen & Pencil Box from Gary MacKay. We also added a cute Mini-Gator project that is a perfect idea for your next carving club carve-in. As always we have fantastic technique articles to help you build your arsenal of skills: Sharpening Micro Tools with Ev Ellenwood, Carving the Mouth with Power with Chris Howard, and an in-depth look at the process of commission carving with Ivan Whillock.

Carving a Chestnut Clock
by Paul Rolfe


We also included four profile articles to give you a closer look at some outstanding artists: Fred Cogelow, Grinling Gibbons, and Linda Master. The fourth profile features the winners from the 2008 National Caricature Competition…you’ll be amazed.

And speaking of competitions…look for the results of our Carving Cruise Carving Competition in a future issue. There are so many outstanding entries, the judges are going to have a very difficult time choosing the winner.

All in all, this issue has a lot to offer. Drop me a comment if you have a hint or suggestion…I’d love to hear from you!

Happy Carving!
Chris
