Welcome to Issue 5 of Year 12 of Woodcarver Online Magazine.

Hello carving friends - well the cool weather is upon here in the north and the dog days of summer will soon be a faint memory. That does mean more carving time as the outdoor chores become a memory, and also means that Artistry in Wood in Dayton is not far away. If you've never been, it's worth the trip.
