Déjà Vu: the Return of Single

Seasons, and Other Oddly

Familiar Themes

We thought of a lot of angles when we changed our schedule

and seasons last year, but it never occurred to us to talk

to the post office. It turns out that there are rules against

calling magazines “Winter/Spring” and the like—especially

if you then follow it with “Spring/Summer.” Apparently

that’s squeezing too many seasons into a quarterly schedule.

Or something. So to please the post office, we have returned to our old

familiar single-season titles, albeit with the new schedule. Sorry for

the confusion.

Please note that at no time have we changed the number of

magazines in a year or in your subscription—we’ve just played with the

timing a little bit in an effort to serve you better. I still think it’s a good

idea that you will get your Holiday (Winter? Christmas?) issue early

enough to make the projects this year, regardless of what we call it.

(“Falliday” has a nice ring to it…)

The article on page 33 is going to look oddly familiar. Our

“Summer School” list is an update of one we ran awhile back and

wanted to revisit. It’s still not comprehensive due to space challenges,

but you are welcome to visit our Calendar of Events on page 90 or

online at www.woodcarvingillustrated.com/calendar-of-events for

much longer lists.

And speaking of oddly familiar, I looked twice myself when I saw

Harold Enlow’s article about carving female faces (page 82) because we

recently ran a similar article from Dave Stetson. However it’s a topic I

hear a lot of questions on and think deserves the double hit. I hope to

see an influx of carvings of lovely ladies in our Reader Gallery!

I saw the “Whimsey-filled Love Spoon” (page 64) when we were

prepping a new edition of Shirley Adler’s book,

Carving Spoons

. I loved

it and knew I had to share it with you. I like a pretty swirly or knot-

design spoon, but this one, which includes two ball-in-cages, a spiral,

and a chain, just tickles me. Plus, it’s huge—like 11" long—so this is no

dainty teaspoon. In face, most of Shirley’s patterns are for big spoons,

so if you’ve hesitated to try carving a more delicate design, look for the

book. These spoons are attractive, but not fragile. You’ll like ’em.

Finally, we gave you instructions for an ark in the last issue. This

one brings you Noah and two animals. The ark accessories—olive

tree, lantern, telescope (yes, Noah had a telescope), and more—are on

our website. Betty Padden is busy carving the rest of the menagerie

of animals, and we’ll put the whole thing together into a book for you

this fall. We’re even talking about a special booklet of holiday-themed

animals. (Just don’t call ’em seasonal…)

Happy Carving!
