Snow White Cypress Knee

Several years ago,

Randy Glau

of Lemont,

Ill., bought a number of cypress knees from

a dealer in Florida. He said it took some time

for this unusual eight-knobbed knee to tell

him who it wanted to be, but eventually he

realized it was perfect for

Snow White and the

Seven Dwarves

. “It took almost six months

of carving and recarving,” said Randy. “The

shapes and personalities were decided by the

sizes of the knees.”

Memorial Plaques

J.E. Greyzck

of Remus, Mich.,

was asked by a friend to carve

plaques for a memorial to

servicemen lost in Vietnam. A

Vietnam veteran and long-time

carver, Mr. Greyzck spent more

than five months carving four

mahogany panels. Three of them

list local Michigan men lost

during the war, and the fourth

panel shows a dragon image

with the words, “All gave some,

Some gave all” and “God bless

America.” The panels, which

Mr. Greyzck calls his “most

meaningful carving,” are housed

in an open-air pavilion.

Sleepy Owl

Alex Garfield

adapted

Joseph Savarese’s

Sleepy Owl

pattern (Summer 2012, Issue

#59) into a box. The body is

hollow and the removeable

head has a stopper-shaped

bottom. Alex added a base

and a captive mouse. Alex

is a member of the British

Woodcarving Association’s

North Wales and

Borders branch.
