Welcome to Issue 2 of Year 12 of Woodcarver Online Magazine.

Hello carving friends. So here's a test - what has 268 images, even more links, and took lots of hours to put together? If you guessed our annual photo gallary from the 2007 International Woodcarvers Congress you would be dead on! Take some time to injoy the great carvings featured in Marc Featherly's excellent photographs.

Also in Part II of this issue, Notes From The Net, an update on GOW 2008 and Mike Bloomquist weights in with yet another book review

Part I of this issue includes a report from Lesley Wyatt, our English correspondent, on the 2007 Festival of The Tree, a signature annual event at Westonbirt, The National Arboretum, in Gloucestershire, England. You'll find some very interesting carvings in the article.

Also included in Part I are regulars "Ol' Don" Burgdorf, Pete LeClair, and Events, Happenin's and Going's-on

Enjoy!
