Peek-a-Boo Fish

When I finished carving the “Peek-a-Boo Jay”

featured in

Woodcarving Illustrated

Spring 2009

(Issue 46), I decided that I liked how it turned

out too much to cut it in half. Instead, I thought

of an alternative. I modified the idea of the blue

jay peeking out from either side of a window to

instead be a fisherman and a school of angelfish;

one fish has spotted the fisherman and got stuck

in its attempt to escape the tank.

Coloring Cardinals

I copied this image of a pair of

cardinals from

Audubon’s Birds of

America Coloring Book

by John James

Audubon to use as a pyrography

pattern. After I transferred the image

to the wood, I lightly burned and

then colored it. I finished the piece

with a coat of Krylon® Workable

Fixatif to seal the image.

When I read the article “Carving a North Woods Animal Puzzle” by Nancy

Borson in

Woodcarving Illustrated

Spring 2016 (Issue 74), I knew that I would

carve one for my grandchildren. Because I have three grandchildren, I used

Nancy’s puzzle as a model to create two more versions of her puzzle: a jungle

animals puzzle and a sports puzzle. It is a thrill to see my grandchildren

playing with their puzzles, especially because Grandpa made them.
