Pattern Pullout

I am new to carving and a new

subscriber to

Woodcarving Illustrated

and

Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts

.

I absolutely LOVE both publications.

They are very fun and informative,

even for a newbie. I do have one

suggestion, though. When beginning

one of the new projects in

WCI

, I am

having a difficult time transferring the

pattern from magazine to wood. Due

to the nature of the binding (glue, not

staples) I cannot remove a page to scan

into computer for printing without

destroying the magazine. Have you

ever considered including a removable

pattern sheet with all patterns from

that issue on it? I notice that

SSW&C

is

done this way and it is really helpful.

I am a member and past president of the Hay Camp

Wood Carvers Club in Rapid City, S.D. Keith Morrill,

a member of the Caricature Carvers of America

(CCA), is a member of our club, and back in 2010,

Keith gave me a couple of cutouts and a few turned

wooden bottles. When I asked Keith what I was going

to do with the bottles, he told me “Oh, someday you

will think of something.”

This past winter, I carved faces in some thread

spools. Then, I decided to carve a face in one of the

bottles Keith gave me. I showed them off at our club

meeting, and they seemed popular, so I asked my

nephew to turn a few more bottles for me out of

basswood.

I must be pretty naïve because I thought my

bottles were the only ones around until I saw the

“Carving a Caricature Beer Bottle” article by Floyd

Rhadigan in

Woodcarving Illustrated

Summer 2012

(Issue 59). Immediately, I decided to try to carve his

cowboy on a couple of bottles. I have carved two so

far, but haven’t finished painting them yet.

Editor’s note: Because most

carvers resize patterns to

suit their needs—and some

use the patterns for visual

reference only—we don’t find

it as necessary to include a

pattern sheet in

Woodcarving

Illustrated

as it is for

Scroll Saw

Woodworking & Crafts

. In both

cases, however, people either

photocopy or trace the patterns

and then transfer or adhere them

to the project blanks. It’s fairly

easy to fold the magazine and

copy a pattern without actually

pulling the page out, although

sometimes you have to hold it

taut with a hand. Thanks for

subscribing, and good luck with

your woodworking!
