When you carve wood for the  sheer joy it gives you, everyday you get to devote
to the craft makes  you feel good...like being on vacation. To help you make
every day of  summer feel like vacation we've loaded this issue with great
features,  projects and techniques.
From whittling away the day  with Jack Lund's Whimsical Bookmarks to
handcarving the precious Baby Spoons by Carl Johnson, there are great projects
you can work on just  about anywhere the summer takes you.
Be sure to check out Mike  Burton’s Sanding Techniques to help you decrease
your sanding time and  LaVerne “Sid” Sidler’s plans for Building a Carving
Arm to help you  carve safely.
At the end of the day when  you’ve put the carving knives away and are
relaxing to a chorus of  crickets, get inspired by the award-winning carvings
from the nation's  top woodcarving shows, and by the unique custom carved
furniture from  Andy Anderson.
