Woodcarving Illustrated - How To Magazine for Carvers: Annoucement! Annoucement! ================================================================================ Shannon on 02/14/2010 19:41:00 Our subscription database will now be handled by a company that focuses solely on database management and subscription fulfillment. The editorial staff remains in Pennsylvania, but your subscription payments will now be processed out of California. The decision to make this change is a result of careful analysis of how we allocate our primary resource - our staff. The spring season provides an excellent opportunity to look back at the past year with the wisdom of hindsight and plan for the future. As we move into 2008, our focus will be on bringing you the absolute best in carving. In future issues, Fred Zavadil from Canada will share some tips for carving realistic wrinkles and drapery. Chris Pye continues his series with new projects to help you hone your skills, and we'll be featuring some fantastic carved chess sets. Although our U.S. cover price is increasing to $6.99 per copy, subscription rates will not change. Our subscription rates have not increased since the first issue rolled off the presses 11 years ago!
