Friends in Wood -

Welcome to Volume 7 Issue 4 of Woodcarver Online Magazine, the on-line magazine for and by woodcarvers, now in it's seventh year of service.

We are well into the summer vacation time here in North America; I hope you are finding time to get away and do a little carving.

Vanity license plates are now available in many states; but I haven't seen any vanity plates relating to woodcarving. If you have a woodcarving themed plate, send along a photo and if there are enough submissions we'll put together a gallery for the Sept/Oct issue. Photos should be sent to vanity plate@carverscompanion.com. If you have only a hardcopy photo, please contact me at the same email addy for a mailing address.

Carving Galleries will be featured in the next two issues of WOM:

• Sept/Oct: a gallery of greenmen in autumn colors
• Nov/Dec: the traditional Santa gallery

Look for information on submitting entries elsewhere in this issue of WOM.

Don't forget that August 15, 2003 is the 6th annual World Wide Woodcarvers Day. That's a good day to share the magic of woodcarving with someone new.

Larger poster HERE. Feel free to duplicate to help promote woodcarving.
