Hello, Carvers!
Allow me to introduce myself and say how happy I am to be
here! As your incoming Editor-in-Chief, I may be relatively
new to carving, but I’m pretty experienced in general
woodworking—and even more important, I’m an old hand
at magazine-making, having run a variety of special-interest
publications for more than 30 years.
Not that I have any big changes planned for
WCI
out of the gate.
I’m well aware of how beloved it is, and I understand why—it’s the
quality, variety, and clarity of the unique content we provide. So
you can continue to count on receiving, in every issue we publish, a
healthy array of enticing patterns, tips, and techniques from the very
best carvers in the world.
If anything, our plan is to find ways to deliver
more
of what
you love. Besides four seasonal issues of
WCI
, we publish special
newsstand editions throughout the year on topics that you’ve
identified as important to you: Holiday patterns, pyrography,
whittling, and the like (you can order many back issues at the
store). As well, make sure you sign up for
our free email newsletter at
woodcarvingillustrated.com/enews,
which
delivers additional fun projects to engage your mind and blade.
