The Tipping Point
As in any relationship, it’s easy to like a project based on
appearance, but love takes more. For me, a good inspiration
story can make the difference. This issue is full of them: Steve
Oliver carved his first flag pin for his wife during Operation
Desert Storm. Tom Borecki carries gremlin blanks and a
pocket knife for carving on the go. (And to be perfectly
honest, Tom calls them “wood boogers,” not gremlins, but
I just couldn’t imagine putting that word in the magazine
in really big type. I’m sure you understand.) David Drake designed
his lizard-handle measuring cup so he could make barbeque sauce in
public while keeping the recipe a secret. Chris Pye made his original
sea chest for his infant grandson. I don’t have the skill to make very
many of these projects, but I’ll be telling their stories, and others from
this issue, for years.
Our interview with this year’s Woodcarver of the Year, Fred
Cogelow, is the ultimate behind-the-scenes story. No one looking at
one of Fred’s gorgeous, detailed, realistic, and award-winning carvings
would ever guess that he taught himself to carve or that he did so
poorly in his first carving competition that he took five years off before
entering again. Fred’s wit, experience, and unique world view are
obvious from his work, but the details add a richness not captured in
his carvings. A picture is worth 1,000 words, of course, but sometimes
you need the words to get the whole picture.
Which, in a roundabout way, brings me to my next topic: patterns
vs. pictures. Or, perhaps, patterns
and
pictures. We tend to take a
“more is better” attitude toward pattern views and reference photos
and provide as many of both as we can cram onto our pages. We also
add as many details as possible to the patterns. As you might imagine,
it takes a lot of time and resources to take the photos and draw the
patterns. Which led me to wonder, are they useful to you? Which
do you use more, the patterns or the photos? Do you prefer simpler
bandsaw patterns or the detailed versions we usually provide? Please
send me a note and let me know.
And speaking of letting me know, you may remember that in
the Holiday 2012 issue (Issue 61), our publisher, Alan Giagnocavo,
mentioned that he misses getting together with woodworkers and
would like to invite all of you to visit us here in Pennsylvania. We have
tentatively scheduled our next Open House for Spring 2014. Please
get in touch (800-457-9112 or editors@woodcarvingillustrated.com)
and let us know what you’d like to do and who you’d like to see—we’ll
take it from there. Look for details in upcoming issues, on our website
(www.woodcarvingillustrated.com), in our e-newsletter (sign up via
the website), and on Facebook (search for the magazine).

I love a good inspiration story.
