Woodcarving Illustrated Issue 83 Summer 2018. Группа авторов

N.H.

      When it comes to process, Lisa is a traditionalist

      with an eclectic flair. She uses a band saw or

      router to cut the initial shapes for her designs

      and does the rest of the work with hand tools,

      leaving most pieces unsanded to achieve an

      organic, rippled surface texture. “I prefer this

      quiet, unplugged method of woodworking,

      creating a finished piece that reflects the time

      and contemplation invested in creating it,” Lisa

      said. She carved her 12" (31.1cm) square

      Elemental Cross

      out of mahogany. Find Lisa at

      “I create lots of wood burned art…but sound waves are my favorite

      because of the memories I get to be a part of,” Katrin said. She bases

      her projects on music, voice and video clips, and baby heartbeats. She

      burned this 12" by 24" (30.5cm by 61cm) piece on birch using sound clips

      of a couple’s wedding vows. All pieces are finished with a UV-blocking

      polyurethane spray. Find Katrin on Facebook at FIREArt by Katrin.

      Rohit Jangid,

      Rajasthan, India

      Rohit and his brother, Mohit, learned ornamental carving from their

      father, Mahesh. Rohit hand-carved every element in

      Miniature

      Flower Pot

      —down to the tiny houseflies—from sandalwood, which

      he prefers because of its “malleable characteristics and delicate

      natural fragrance.” It stands at 10" by 24" (25.4cm by 61cm). For
