      Signs of Spring

      During my sophomore year of college in upstate New York,

      it started snowing in November and didn’t stop ’til early

      April. I love snow, but that was a bit much. As the days slowly

      warmed and the snow grudgingly melted, my roommate and

      I made a game of searching for “signs of spring”—patches of

      green grass, buds on trees, the first spears of snowdrops and

      crocuses in the flowerbeds, and goslings on the lake.

      Many years have passed since that reluctant spring, but

      my former roommate and I still send each other photos of the

      signs of spring as we find them each year. So although there

      is snow on the ground as I write, I planned this Spring issue with an eye

      toward signs of the season.

      I can’t offer you the bright color and feathery soft feeling of new

      grass, but we do have a riot of flowers. Wanda Marsh shares step-by-

      step instructions for power-carving and painting a delicate and realistic

      morning glory, complete with leaves and twining stem (page 76). Or, try

      the Thai method of soap carving and make Sue Wagner’s cheery flower

      (page 26). This is a great project to share with a new carver, whether

      child or adult. And speaking of painting, with this issue Betty Padden

      starts a year-long series on painting techniques by demonstrating

      blending on a pretty tulip plaque (page 66).

      Wayne Barton’s flower decorates a chip-carved bread board (page

      38). Wayne used a simple pattern and natural wood tones to depict

      the delicate design, and adds a monogram for the personal touch. I’m

      sure this board will be a favorite for Mother’s Day this year. And for

      Valentine’s Day we have a gorgeous hearts-and-flowers lovespoon from

      Barry Onslow (page 45). Lovespoons originated as romantic gifts that

      showcase carving skills, so it’s the perfect project for February.

      While I’m a little short on wobbly-legged lambs and darling

      ducklings, turn to page 28 for a charming caricature skunk from Bob

      Hershey. You can personalize the carving by adding a sign, changing

      the hat, or choosing a different color scheme. For a completely different

      but equally appealing design, consider Terry Everitt’s semi-realistic

      cardinal (page 60). Painted in the muted colors of a nesting female bird,

      the cardinal is an ideal symbol of the season.

      Spring is often a time of renewal, rebirth, and trying new things.

      Here at the office, we’ve been experimenting with woodturning. We

      happen to enjoy turning pens, but we’ve also been thinking about

      turning carving blanks. On page 52, you’ll find a brief introduction to

      lathes, and on pages 19 and 54 are two very different projects made

      from turned blanks. You can make either

      one with purchased
