August 12th, 2017

A por­tion of the Com­pe­ti­tion Exhib­it at IWC ’17

For those of you not able to make the trip to Maquoke­ta, IA for the 2017 Inter­na­tion­al Wood­carvers Con­gress, here’s your chance to get a feel for what the com­pe­ti­tion exhib­it looks like, and to see many of the pieces entered in the com­pe­ti­tion this year.  These casu­al pho­tos were tak­en by Matt Kel­ley over sev­er­al days, and qual­i­ty varies, depend­ing in large part upon the light­ing available. 

In the Sep­tem­ber-Octo­ber issue of WOM, we will present a gallery of the excel­lent stu­dio qual­i­ty win­ner’s pho­tos tak­en by Marc Feath­er­ly, the res­i­dent pro­fes­sion­al pho­tog­ra­ph­er for IWC.  Be sure to watch for that gallery next month.

by Matt Kelley
January 29th, 2017

Josh Guge’s 2016 Inter­na­tion­al Wood­carvers Con­gress Best of Show Winner

As always, assem­bling the pho­to gallery for the Inter­na­tion­al Wood­carv­er Con­gress Win­ners is the great­est amount of work of any sin­gle arti­cle in WOM.  The 2016 IWC Gallery was no excep­tion, start­ing with Josh Guge’s won­der­ful Best of Show win­ner.   This edi­tion has some 287 pho­tos (twice that num­ber if you count the thumb­nails) includ­ing some of the best carv­ings you will see any­where.  In the win­ner gal­leries you’ll find 164 of pho­tog­ra­ph­er Marc Feath­er­ly’s excel­lent stu­dio pho­tos of the win­ners at IWC 2016, includ­ing more pho­tos of the Best of Show winner.

In addi­tion to the gallery of the prize-win­ning carv­ings, you’ll also find Mar­c’s can­did pho­tos from the Class­es, Award Ban­quet, the Judges, the Show floor, and oth­er pho­tos around and about dur­ing Congress.

As always, the pho­tos in the win­ner’s gallery are click­able, and will take you to much larg­er ver­sions of these great carv­ings.  (Much larg­er then you’ll see in any paper pub­li­ca­tion.)  The large pho­tos will afford you the oppor­tu­ni­ty to real­ly look at the win­ners in detail.

To vis­it the gal­leries, in the menu bar above click on WOM, then on The Gal­leries menu item, or click HERE.   Enjoy!

Carvings From Down Under — John Carriere’s Cobra

by Matt Kelley
December 12th, 2016

John Car­riere want­ed to carve a snake; a BIG snake.  In this instance, a 32 inch high repli­ca of a cobra.  The job took the res­i­dent of Dar­win, North­ern Ter­ri­to­ry, Aus­tralia some 650 hours; the project was carved in Tas­man­ian Oak.  That’s a lot of work for a rep­tile, but as you can see, the result was worth the labor.  John was kind enough to share these step-by-step images of the carv­ing process.
