Four Seasons Lovespoon
“I had a lot of inspiration for
this spoon, so it’s packed full of
symbolism,” says carver
Laura
Gorun
of Columbus, Ohio. A
commission made as a gift from
a pastor to his wife for their 10th
anniversary, the lovespoon is 18"
long, 4" wide, and carved from
holly. Laura calls it the
Four
Seasons Spoon
for its main themes.

Log Cabin Bear
Jim (JJ) Lynes
of Mauston, Wisc., spent approximately
1,000 hours designing, carving, and building this bear from
laminated white pine to hang from a beam in his client’s log
cabin. JJ carved the fish from butternut and connected it to
the reverse side of the paw, thus providing the piece’s title,
Missing Lunch
.
Cowboy Caricature
After a 2004 visit to the National Museum
of Woodcarving in Custer, S.D.,
Jim Quilici
of Manteca, Calif., bought two copies of
Woodcarving Illustrated
, a knife, and some
wood; he has been carving ever since. He has
always liked carving Indians and cowboys,
such as
Hey Do You Want To See My New Rope
Trick?
, shown here. Jim uses basswood for
his carvings, mixing in other varieties for the
bases. He has learned to paint with acrylics
by studying Phil and Vicki Bishop’s and Lynn
Doughty’s methods.

School of Black Crappies
Andrew Campbell
of London, Ont., Canada,
created this unnamed carving to feature the
central branch. “I found it and immediately
thought it would look neat with a few fish
chasing a minnow around it,” he says. Andrew
carved the black crappies from basswood. The
scene is about 7
" wide by 12" deep.
