Reclining Dragon

Derrick Thacker

of

Kingsport, Tenn., created

this dragon from a piece

of buckeye, which he

said carves similarly to

basswood. The dragon was

Derrick’s first in-the-round

piece carved from his own

pattern, and was inspired

by audio books by Naomi

Novik, which Derrick

listens to while he carves.

Group Effort

Members of the Greater Lansing (Mich.)

Wood Carvers

created this 10-foot-tall

totem pole. The pole, carved from a red

cedar utility pole, was the work of (pictured

from left to right) Larry Cummins, Bill Lixie,

John Barany, Bill Peterson, and Bob Hanna.

The men made the 6-foot-long wings from

wood recycled from a church pew. The group

roughed out the piece with a chainsaw and

added the details with hand tools.

Golf Club Ducks

Donald Sawyer

of Camano Islands,

Wash., scours flea markets and swap meets

looking for wooden golf clubs. Because

most of today’s golf clubs are made from

graphite composites and titanium, wooden

drivers are a thing of the past. When

Donald finds an old wooden driver, he

turns it into the body for a carved duck.
