John Miklos

Misa, Ariz.

John began carving reliefs when his shop teacher

brought a salt block to class. He now has several

awards from the Desert Woodcarving Show to his

credit and is

the president of the Grand Canyon

State Woodcarvers.

Freedom Heartsong

Torrance, Calif.

“One of my favorite things to make and carve are trees,”

said Freedom. He handcarved these custom 9' (2.7m)-

tall doors from African mahogany using unique grinder

attachments and a proprietary technique to rough out

the design, and Swiss Made hand tools and a handmade

mallet for the details. He stained the leaves, deer, and

earth to highlight the scene and backed the carved

portions with tempered glass. See more of Freedom’s

work at www.heartsongwoodwork.com.

Kim Hykes

Chambersburg, Pa.

A member of the Cumberland Valley Woodcarvers

from Chambersburg, Pa., Kim created this child’s

rocking chair for a Relay for Life event. The ribbons

in the tree represent different forms of cancer. Kim

added animals to the design so the chair would

appeal to children.
