Male Figure

Boris Plotnikov

studies carving at

the Hans Kantor

studio in Israel.

This male figure

is carved from

eucalyptus and

" by 13 

".

Wolf Handle

A carver for 20 years,

Tod Downey

works at the

National Zoo in Washington, D.C., where he builds

housing, furniture, and toys for the animals. When the

zoo added two Canadian wolves about a year ago, Tod

built their dens and a shed for the animal keepers. To

add a personal touch, he carved two wolf-shaped handles

for the doors. The handles are 4" by 12" and made from

scrap 4x4 wood.

Carved Cabinet Door

Connie Spicer

of Vero Beach, Fla., carves

reclaimed items that are destined for a landfill.

She uses a high-speed drill and carbide bits to

create detailed designs, such as the tree on this

maple cabinet door. The design was created by

an artist named Amy Edwards of Woolongong,

Australia, and used with permission. Connie

added the quote using white RubnBuff and

finished the door with butcher-block wax.

Flamenco Dancer

A carver for about six years,

Ian C. MacLachlan

of

Bedford, N.S., Canada, also

studies Spanish with a lady

who used to dance Flamenco.

As a Christmas gift for her,

Ian designed and carved this

dancer. He carved a stylized

face and hands so the focus of

the piece would be the pose,

motion, and dress.
