That’s a Relief!

There are all kinds of relief—high, low, and in between.

Pretty much any sculpture with a flat back and shaped

front made from the same piece of material is a relief. A

number of people have asked for relief carvings recently,

so we have included several in this issue. D Arlene

Berensman of Abington, Pa., requested one featuring

wildlife, so I hope she likes our blue heron cover project

by Bob Stadtlander (page 84). Dylan Goodson’s landscape captures

miles of depth in just 2" of wood (page 42), while Betty Padden used

a layered technique to mimic high-relief carving in her lovely still

life (page 20). Carolea Hower was inspired by our past two-sided

ornament patterns to create one of her own, and then provided

samples in low, middle, and high relief. You’ll find her cornucopia/

Santa dual carving on page 58.

Speaking of requests, last year Janet F. Robinson wrote to ask if

we had any patterns for dinosaurs, her grandson having developed a

passion for them. They are almost as rare in carving circles as they

are in zoos, but eventually I found Brian Altison’s T. rex (page 70).

Given their extinct status, it’s hard to say if our version is realistic,

but you’re welcome to tweak the shape and colors to suit your vision

of the ancient predator.

Last fall we hosted mini classes at our booth at the Artistry

in Wood show in Wilmington, Ohio. We were a little surprised

by the popularity of Jim Hiser’s demonstration of his clay model

technique, so we asked him to write an article about it. Jim provides

his techniques on page 36.

We’ve gotten a great response to our inquiry about the Sea

Captain in the last issue. We asked if you’d be interested in a

booklet with more detailed instructions, and the overwhelming

answer appears to be yes! We’re working on it and will let you know

when it’s available.

In the meantime, I have a similar question regarding Betty

Padden’s technique for creating relief and in-the-round carvings

using layers. You saw it with her ark project last year, she uses it

to create the high-relief basket project on page 20, and we’ll have

an ornament project in the Winter issue. Would you be interested

in a book of layered projects? Please let us know: editors@

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

There’s plenty more in the issue. Chime in on Facebook

(www.facebook.com/WCImag) to let us know which project is your

favorite ... and to make your requests.

Happy Carving!
