The River Bend Carving Club of
Racine, Wis., decided to carve
Noah’s Ark along with a Nativity
set shortly before
Woodcarving
Illustrated
Winter 2016 (Issue
74) was published. We were
delighted when we received the
issue. The club liked the look of
Betty Padden’s ark and used the pattern for our project. We used different Noah
and animal patterns. We were looking for an annual project that would be suitable
for carvers of all levels and this did the trick. One person carved the ark to keep the
look consistent. We unveiled the project at our annual picnic in August and offered
it for sale at the annual Walk in the Woods Art Fair. The River Bend Carving Club
has offered carving classes for the past two years at the River Bend Nature Center on
the first and third Saturdays of the month from 9:30am to 11:30am for prospective
carvers 10 years of age and older. Some of the students have become members and
participated in this year’s ark project.

A Carver Recognized
I enjoyed the article “Learning to Carve
Soap” by Barbara Millikan in
Woodcarving
Illustrated
Summer/Fall 2016 (Issue 76),
especially since you noted that the tools used
at your Open House came courtesy of the
Desert Woodcarving Show. We added soap
carving to give kids something to do at the
show and were surprised by how many adults
sat down to try it.
I showed your article to Jim Sublet, a
retired engineer who designed and built all
of the tools for our show. I can’t tell you how
happy he was to see his tools featured in
your magazine. Jim has made 100 sets of the
wooden tools—that’s 300 tools!
I didn’t tell Jim, but I planned right then
to let you know who made the tools in hopes
that you could make mention of Jim’s efforts.
I wanted to send this photograph in hopes
that you could recognize Jim in some way—
believe me, it would make his day!
