Carvers' Companion Gateway

Friends in Wood - Welcome to Woodcarver Online Magazine, the on-line magazine for and by woodcarvers.

The long, hot summer is here in North America, so take time from mowing the lawn, weeding the garden or painting the house; and sit back and enjoy the interesting variety of articles in this issue of WOM.

So what's hot in the world of woodcarving? Perhaps the biggest news is the announcement of another commerical woodcarving magazine, which will debut in January 2003. Is there room in the marke place for CARVING Magazine, along with Wood Carving Illustrated and the venerable Chip Chats? Given careful selection of content, lots of reader input and the right marketing, I suspect a third publication can be successful. Read more about Carving Magazine in this issue.

Included in this issue:

• Woodcarvers Roundup report by Sandy Holder
• Chip carved Grandfather Clock by Jeff Fleisher
• Book review by Mike Bloomquist
• A Little Kitten pattern from Ol' Don's Drawing Table
• CARVING Magazine to debut in January
• Pyrograffiti update from Kathleen Menendez
• Notes From The Net. by Loren Woodard
• Another project from Pete LeClair
• Sponsor Specials, where you can check out special deals for WOM readers from the WOM sponsors

In the next issue:

• The WOM Woodcarving Contest, with real prizes and everything
• A visit to the Trolls of Mount Horeb
• Review of four (that's right, four) new woodcarving CD's
