Carving Local Bark

Wayne Dick

of Bland, Va., likes the

look of carvings in cottonwood bark,

but cottonwood is scarce in his area.

So, Wayne applied the cottonwood

bark carving techniques to the bark of

a few local trees. He settled on tulip

poplar bark and black locust bark. The

wood spirit is carved from black locust

and the whimsical house is carved

from tulip poplar.

Cartoon Walking Stick

Richard Boeckenstedt

of Dyersville,

Iowa, turned this walking stick on a lathe,

and then traced more than 100 cartoon

characters onto it. Richard spent five

months carving, burning, and painting

the characters onto the stick.

Carving Knots

William R. Donaldson

of Wilmington, N.C.,

carves a variety of nautical and rope knots from

wood. Pictured are (clockwise from top left) the

bowline, a simple running knot or slip knot, a

square knot, a sheepshank, a carrick bend, and a

figure eight.
