Missing Measurement

I really enjoy your magazine. It always has projects for

all ability levels that are interesting useful and fun to

do. The Summer 2017 issue (#79) has a Quick Wizard

on page 66. The bottom measurement for the bottom

of his hands is missing. This same illustration is used

for a Santa in the special holiday issue so it is also

missing there. I could estimate the measurement, but

the illustration should be complete.

Editor’s Response: Our apologies! The measurement

is ½

" (see above). The corrected drawing is also on our

Kindling Pine

I’d like your assistance in discovering the extent of

kindling pine carving. I have not been able to find

any information on the subject. I work with the

trunks and roots of long-dead pine trees in which

resin is present in concentrated amounts. Because of

the difficulty in working kindling pine, the number

of people involved may be very small. I have been

unsuccessful in connecting with others who may be

working this medium. If you have any information

on the subject of kindling pine carving, please share

it with me.

Editor’s Response: We’re not familiar with the art

of carving kindling pine (also called fatwood). If

you have information about it or know carvers who

work in this medium, please contact us (editors@

woodcarvingillustrated.com or 1-800-457-9112).

Valuing Carvings

We recently acquired one of Andy Anderson’s

carvings called

The Indian Taxi Cab

at an auction. It

is signed and dated. We were just wondering what it

might be worth. Would appreciate any information

you could give us. Thanks for your help.

Editor’s Response: Andy Anderson was an American

artist in the early 20th century who was known

for his Old West carvings. Values for his work vary

widely; last year, “Antiques Roadshow” appraised one

at $1,000 to $8,000, and eBay has listings ranging

from $750 to $3,500. You may be able to pay for an

appraisal from an auction house that deals in folk art,

such as Skinner’s (Boston and New York), Freeman’s

(Boston), or Morphy’s (Denver, Pa.). Congratulations

on your carving; I hope you enjoy it!
