This feature artical is hot off the presses! You can purchase a copy of WoodCarving Illustrated at Home Depot, Lowes, Borders Books, Barnes and Nobles, or get a free issue from their website. I am very happy about this four page full color article and working with the entire crew at Fox Chapel Publishing, with special thanks to Shannon Flowers, the magazine's editor. Here is a link to their website... although, you'll have to get a copy of the magazine to read it. It is a great magazine for all levels of carving talent. Have a look around... and be sure to purchase one of their magazines... maybe it will inspire you as well as it inspired me! http://www.woodcarvingillustrated.com/inthisissue.php
