It’s Our 100th Issue!
In late 1997, the premiere issue of
Woodcarving Illustrated
went to print, unleashing a flood of reader letters. These
expressed excitement at the in-depth projects, suggestions
for improvement, and requests for tips on everything from
DIY finish recipes to green wood carving. While it has gone
by different names over the years, our Letters section (page
6) is one of our favorite parts of each issue, because it’s our
direct line to you: your joys, your frustrations, how you’ve
made the projects your own. I can’t say it enough: we love getting
your emails, messages, and postcards, and we read every one with
a glee that rivals Christmas morning.
That same glee found us every time a new block arrived for
our 100th issue reader quilt; see it fully assembled, and find out
the challenge winner, on pages 16-18. Each block is unique and
impressive in its own right; thank you for joining in, and stay tuned
for more carving challenges in future issues.
If you’re new to carving, welcome! Be sure to check out our
Carving Community Roundup (page 20), Stay Connected (page 14),
Calendar of Events (page 92), and our various advertisers for club
info, tool tips, and ways to get involved in the community. If you’ve
been here a while, turn to our article on the 100 best tips from the
last quarter century of
WCI
(page 23); see if you recognize any from
your back issue collection, and then challenge yourself to try out
a few more.
When I started at the magazine in 2018, one of my first
assignments was to whittle a bird. I’d edit articles with woodchips
strewn around my feet, and four years later, not much has changed
(except that now, on a good day, I draw less blood). I didn’t know it
at the time, but I had stumbled into one of the most rewarding
pursuits imaginable, containing some of the funniest, kindest
people on the planet.
We hope you enjoy the 100th issue as much as we enjoyed
putting it together. Here’s to 100 more.
Happy carving!

to the editor
Pearly Whites
Once I saw the
spooky eyes
and big set of
teeth on Matt
Kincade’s project
from the fall issue
(#96), I knew I had
to try carving it! It was perfect practice
for me, as I had just begun carving teeth
on caricatures.

Hocus Pocus
I decided to make
Richard Embling’s
“Wendy the Shelf-
Sitter Witch” from
the fall issue (#96)

knew would be
keen to have one. I
made each version
a little different.

own take on Matt
Kincade’s “Spooky

from the fall issue
(#96). It was a
fun project!

From Tree to Workbench
I saw Matt Kincade’s
“Spooky Jack-o’-Lantern”
on his social media and
was super excited that
he shared the pattern
in the magazine (issue
#96). I knew I had to
give it a try. I carved
mine from homegrown
Minnesota basswood.
Cody Harstad
Hillsboro, N.D.
Halloween Spirit
Each year, my son and I create Halloween
decorations. This year, he requested that
I carve a pumpkin. Matt Kincade’s “Spooky
Jack-o’-Lantern” from issue #96
immediately came to mind. Matt’s
combination of caricature eyes and
teeth, plus a jack-o’-lantern nose
is such a unique composition. It
spoke to the budding caricature
carver in me while also
incorporating the scary Halloween
flair that my son was after.
Paul Bruillard
Seattle, Wash.
A Field of Mice
I am a part of the Council Oak Woodcarvers Club. Many
of our members subscribe to your magazine and we really
appreciate the variety of carving projects that are offered
for all different skill levels. We often use the patterns and
instructions for group projects—Betty Padden’s “Friendly
Field Mouse” from issue #95 was perfect! Our club enjoyed
learning how to carve the mouse with such detailed
instructions and wanted to thank
WCI
for continuing to
supply ideas and education to woodcarvers.
Alicia Walker
South Bend, Ind.
Note from the Editor:
We received so many letters about Matt Kincade’s
“Spooky Jack-o’-Lantern” from issue #96 that we’re sharing a selection
here. We love seeing how you put your own twist on these projects!

Once I Caught a Fish
After my wife introduced me to wood-
carving, I joined the Central Nebraska
Woodcarvers (CNWC) and became
fond of carving human busts. My latest
carving, named
Tight Line
, was inspired
by my love of fly fishing. I carved the
piece from aspen and sealed it with a
natural finish to showcase the grain.
Ed Wilcox
Kearney, Neb.
Playful Pup
My granddaughter
saw Parn Aniwat’s
“Dog and Butterfly”
caricature from the
spring issue (#98) and
liked it so much, I
had
to carve one for
her. Beagles are her
favorite, so together we
painted it to look like
one. Thanks for the
idea, Parn.
Tom Mellott
Colorado Springs, Colo.
Little Gremlin
I came across Tom
Borecki’s “Pocket-Sized
Gremlins” in issue #63
and decided to give
one a try. I found the
carving to be quick
and rewarding, with a
lot of wiggle room for
making it my own.
Casey Foster
St. Cloud, Fla.
Sparking Inspiration
Your magazine rekindles
my inspiration every time it
shows up on my doorstep.
The handy step-by-step
pictures and instructions
helped me a lot during the
pandemic. I leaned into
caricature carving and have
started to be more creative
in making my own carvings
and patterns.

Welcome to the Club
While at a scout summer camp with my
son in 2018, I discovered a new passion
that would become a large part of my life:
woodcarving. I found the Alamo Area
Woodcarvers, a great local club that has a
wonderful library with a huge selection of
Woodcarving Illustrated
magazines. I first
carved Les Ramsey’s “Santa Claus” from
issue #37. I have continued to carve and
now feel competent in my ability to take on
most of the projects I find. I look forward
to seeing carvings from contributors like
Myron Compton and Dwayne Gosnell, and
I am thrilled that
WCI
is engaged in the
carving community!

Illustrated

community with his simple designs and easy-to-follow
tutorials. His latest book contains 14 projects, broken
down in a straightforward, logical way with excellent
corresponding photography. In addition to the projects,
the book includes invaluable information for the beginner
and the seasoned carver, such as how to prepare blanks
without power tools, align proportions, and conceptualize
and execute original designs. From a speckled egg-in-a-cage
to camping utensils, a dinosaur, a flower, and a sea captain,
James has included something for everyone. Once you’ve
tried his latest projects, go back and check out his first

Quick Whittles: 16 Caricature Projects
to Carve in a Sitting
By Sara Barraclough
$12.99
ISBN: 978-1-4971-0279-8
Sara’s new book takes simple subjects and gives them “just
a little more oomph.” From fresh takes on classic whimseys
to a friendly bear, a roly-poly Santa, and a ladybug on
wheels, the 16 projects in this book are fun and lovable.
Sara encourages you to use the projects as stepping-stones
to build your skills and gather an arsenal of techniques
to apply to future carves. You’ll learn how to incorporate
elements such as craft wire and movable parts, as well as
how to achieve Sara’s charming, cartoonish style of painting.
She makes conveying emotion in a carving look easy—and
gives you the knowledge to do the same. The book also
includes detailed overviews on all the basics, from safety
and tool maintenance to carving techniques and finishing.
No matter your skill level, this book is a valuable addition
to any carving library. Want more from Sara? Check out

O
n the weekend of March 12, the Lancaster County Woodcarvers
(LCWC) held their 47th annual Woodcarving and Wildlife Art
Festival at Millersville University in Millersville, Pa. The two-day event,
organized by show chairs Bob Hershey and Andy DiPace, was attended
by over 500 guests. The show featured 50 exhibitors including
WCI
regulars such as Bob Kozakiewicz, Ken Kuhar, and Kathy Overcash.
The
WCI
team also had a table featuring projects from the magazine, a
project tutorial giveaway, and a gift card raffle. Carving supply vendors
were also present, occupying 26 tables at the event. The show had been
cancelled the previous two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “This
show is particularly meaningful to me for the opportunity to see old
carving friends and meet new ones,” said LCWC member and show
co-chair Bob Hershey.
The carving competition included categories ranging from
intermediate and novice to wildlife art and youth. Carving competition
highlights included Jeff Rechin’s cactus wren winning best of show,
Christa Roser’s pyrography horse scene winning second place, and
Bob Stadtlander’s Santa carving in cottonwood bark taking third.
Also of note: Jon DeHart swept first, second, and third place in the
novice category.
The event had a variety of demonstrations ranging from caricature
and spoon carving to whittling roosters from twigs. This year’s featured
carver was decoy and Santa carver Mike Dieter. Non-carving classes,
such as Joan Hiser’s painting demo and Christa Roser’s introduction
to intarsia seminar, were also offered. An instructional class on how to
carve a five-minute owl or hedgehog was available to attendees for the
duration of the event.
The LCWC announced that Kevin Applegate will be next year’s
featured carver. “The show is a great place to network with other
carvers, get inspiration, learn new techniques from seminars, and buy
all the supplies you need for any kind of carving from our vendors.
We work hard to create a festive atmosphere to welcome carvers and
non-carvers to our show,” said Bob.
The 48th annual Woodcarving and Wildlife Art Festival is
scheduled for March 11 and 12, 2023. The event will take place from
10am to 5pm on Saturday, and 10am to 4pm on Sunday at Millersville
University in Millersville, Pa.
