SUMMER 2012

from our

mailbag

Thank you for Terry Brasher’s article about carving

softballs in

Woodcarving Illustrated

Fall 2011 (Issue

56). I have had a lot of fun carving them. The polycore

inside the softballs carves almost like a cypress knee,

and you need to buff your tools often. Thanks for all

you do to support woodcarving.

Carved Softballs

Inspired by an article by Terry

Brasher, Roger Beane carved

fun faces in softballs.

Variations on Carved Trees

The sculpted trees Dennis Carlson

shared in

Woodcarving Illustrated

Holiday 2011 (Issue 57) were

a great idea! A number of the

members of our small carving

group are making themselves

forests. I have taken Dennis’

suggestion to experiment with

different spirals. In the photo, the

middle tree is made using Dennis’

technique. The right tree is a

double spiral where I cut notches

at each turn and rounded the

edges to give the tree a snow-laden

look. The left tree has two spirals

starting on opposite corners and

running to the right.

My small trees were made from

the triangle pieces sawed from the

large trees. I’m having great fun

with this project.

Fred Byers added spirals

and notches to give his

trees a different look.
