Treasure Hunt
One of the questions I am asked most often is, how do you
choose the projects for the magazine? People wonder where
we find our projects, how we decide which ones to run, and
why we don’t include more of their favorites.
One of my favorite places to find articles is woodworking
shows. I love attending shows so I can talk to carvers and
see their work in person. e first thing I do is walk the
aisles quickly to see what catches my attention. At the
Conewago Carvers show in East Berlin, Pa., a year ago, Jim Feather's
cowboy rooster (page 30) practically yodeled at me when I walked by
the first time. e rooster’s bright colors and cute expression caught
my attention, and the jointing system that makes it a shelf-sitter sold
it as a project worth sharing.
We found Susan Dorsch’s fascinating faux metal habitat pieces
and Jim Dodge’s ball-in-cross necklace during a more thorough
second stroll through the Dayton (Ohio) Artistry in Wood show in
November 2011. Look for a great gallery of Susan’s artwork and tips
for getting started making faux finishes on page 18. Jim explains how
to carve the cross and chain from a single piece of wood starting on
Sometimes we need travel no farther than our own files for
great articles. Lora S. Irish is an amazingly creative artist who often
sends ideas our way. Her notes on carving walking stick toppers and
attaching them to bamboo sticks (page 26) seemed perfect for hiking
season, so I was happy to find them in the file ready to share with
you. Our book files inspired the articles about carving angry faces
(page 55) and leprechaun pencils (page 67), as well as a great guide to
finishing products (page 84).
And, of course, the Internet is an abundant source of inspiration
(and distraction, but that’s another column!). I “met” Chip Jones
while researching a special issue on pyrography and was fascinated
by his projects combining relief carving with woodburning. Chip
shares his technique on page 70. Similarly, Kathleen Ryan found the
Woodworking for the Blind website while researching online and
immediately recognized the story potential. You’ll be intrigued and
enlightened by these woodworkers’ abilities and attitudes despite
their vision challenges (page 78).
So, finding articles is a little like a treasure hunt that takes place
all over the world, all the time, and with infinite prizes. Once we have
a great selection of ideas, we try to include a balanced variety in the
magazine, basing our choices on feedback we gather at shows, online,
and from your letters and phone calls. You might not like every
article, but we hope there’s something for everyone in each issue.
What kind of projects and articles interest you? What would you
like to see in these pages? Please share with us on Facebook or our
forum, or drop me a note with your thoughts—I’m always eager to hear
from you.
