Hello Carving Magazine™ Readers! We have another wonderful issue of Carving Magazine for you to enjoy!

Our magazine is filled with great projects, interesting information, and valuable techniques. Be sure to check out our ever-popular step-by-step projects: "Carving a Chipmunk with an Acorn,” "First Catch" baseball player, Uncle Sam figure, and an incense burner from soapstone.

You'll learn some fantastic carving techniques from some of the best carvers around. Ivan Whillock shows you how to practice carving a face from a corner, and Marv Kaisersatt describes the very imaginative Escher-like carving techniques. "Ask Joe" gives us a very detailed article about depth in relief carving, Will Hayden shows us a multitude of great nametag carving ideas, John Call continues his "Novice Nibblings" series—this time telling about handpieces for power carving tools, and Marcia Berkall continues teaching us wonderful ideas to find our creativity.

We have several awesome profiles for you as well. A wonderful Australian carver, Maricha Oxley, shows us some of her unique creations and insight. There are some fantastic carvings in other countries, and we found some interesting things to show you from Nepal. We also thought you'd like to see some great carvings from the “2006 Caricature Carvers of America Competition.”

Thanks for reading Carving Magazine! As always, I'd love to hear from you. If you'd like to see something that we haven't published, please let me know!

Have an awesome day!!
