      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

       woodcarvingillustrated.com

      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.

      Those who enjoy social media can follow us for entertaining

      updates, news, and other carving intel on

      Facebook @WCImag

      and on

      Pinterest @Woodcarving,

      and all are invited to join the discussions

      that take place on our forums at

      forum.woodcarvingillustrated.com,

      where all your carving questions will find answers.

      And keep those reader submissions coming! We love seeing not

      only your stylish takes on the pieces featured in these pages but also

      the utterly original creations that you’ve come up with on your own

      (submission details on page 14).

      Being new to this particular enterprise, I’m asking everyone—

      including you—a lot of questions. For starters, please see the online

      poll set up below, and tell us about your skill level.

      We look forward to hearing from you…often!

      Cheers,

      John Atwood
