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.

and notches to give his
trees a different look.
