Winter Wishes & Woodcarvings

There are a lot of great holiday carvings in this issue! For

our Santa fans, we have everything from super simple

“Peekaboo Santas” (page 42)—you don’t have to carve eyes

unless you want to—to traditional designs, casual caricature

Clauses, and semi-stylized St. Nicks. We offer multiple

versions of some patterns and ideas for customizing others,

so these might be all of the Santa patterns you ever need!

Prefer a more traditional celebration? Take a look at the

Block Nativity (page 37) and Nativity Scene (page 50). I particularly

like the scene because the designs can be hung on the tree, hinged

to create a tabletop scene, or even adapted into a relief-carved cross.

Also, read about carver Barrie Casement’s involvement with the

restoration of St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City (page 58). I’m

so thankful that folks like Barrie have the skills to repair or replace

the original woodwork, and that institutions like the cathedral care

enough to support traditional workmanship.

Dennis and Susan Thornton used a holiday inspiration to go a

completely different direction in their carved fantasy concert, “Hark!”

(page 66). The scene shows Mick Jagger and Roy Orbison as angels

rocking the halls of heaven. In addition to the patterns, Dennis shares

his techniques for modeling a carving in clay, designing and adding

the wings, carving fluffy clouds, getting fabric to flow, and more.

Another of our favorite caricature artists, Floyd Rhadigan, is

featured prominently throughout the issue. A carver for most of his

life and the 2016 Woodcarver of the Year, Floyd has spent decades

sharing his art with others via classes, articles, books, roughouts,

and finished projects. You can read about his journey as a carver and

enjoy two of his patterns in the issue, and see a video interview with

him on our website, www.woodcarvingillustrated.com.

I’d particularly like to draw your attention to the second of Floyd’s

patterns, “Carving a Caricature Soldier,” on page 86. It is an excerpt

from his new book by the same name, which includes patterns for

military personnel from the Civil War, World Wars, and today.

Floyd was in the U.S. Army, and this book is his way of thanking

fellow soldiers for their service. The

caricatures are loving and respectful,

and will, we hope, delight anyone who

served or knows folks who have. The

book should be in stores in December.

Wishing you happy holidays, from

Thanksgiving through the New Year!
