Issue 194 of Woodcarving magazine is filled with a host of great articles for you. Our Guest Editor, Steve Bisco, carves an authentic wainscot panel in the Tudor Gothic style; interviews veteran Australian carver Bruce Weier; and makes a heraldic fleur-de-lys plaque. In our Projects section, Cedric Boyns turns and carves a platter to commemorate the coronation of King Charles III; Peter Benson carves a koala; Dave Western starts a new series on Norwegian wedding spoons by tackling the spoon itself; Tatiana Baldina creates an interesting feather pattern using chip carving; John Samworth begins work on a Celtic strapwork arch; Zoe Gertner makes a garden trug in boxwood; Graham Thompson carves a life-size gorilla’s head; and Alan Denham begins work on a dragon mirror frame. In Techniques, Randall Maxey demonstrates tool restoration methods; and Nic Westermann concludes his look at heat-treating tools. In Features, William Barsley looks back on the favourite parts of his carving adventures; and we take a look at a Gothic masterpiece, the Altar of the Holy Blood. We also have updates from the carving community and a peek at our next issue. All this and more in Woodcarving magazine 194!
