Carvers' Companion Gateway

Dear Friends in Carving -

Welcome to the May/June 2000 issue.

Spring is well along, and here in Michigan it's been much more like summer. This is the time of year when yard work and other projects tend to pull you away from the tools.

To counteract that misguided tendency, we have a number of great articles this issue to keep you intereseted in carving. (It's ALWAYS better to have a knife in your hand, rather than push a lawn mower.)

Here's what you can look forward to in this issue:

• William Fayette carves cars - like you may have never seen before. Be sure to check out The Art of The Automobile.
• "Ol' Don" Burgdorf's pattern for this month offers a number of bottle stopper patterns.
• Pete LeClair's friend Buster pays us a visit.
• Jim Studebaker writes about the Perils of Packing and selects three carving books for a desert island.
• Kathleen Menendez's regular Pyrography series takes a sensitive look at A Healing Art.
• Sandy Holder writes about the 2nd Annual Wood Carvers Roundup, a great event that takes place in Evart, Michigan.
• Vic Hamburger sits in the Guest Editor seat this issue, and offers his observations in An Internet Community of Woodcarvers.

Finally, please continue to share the E-zine with your friends. Suggest they visit carverscompanion.com and join the fun!

Carve On!
