Woodcarving Illustrated Summer 2025 Issue

Summer isn’t just for vacations — it’s for making progress.

Longer days mean more daylight in the shop, more time on the porch with a knife in hand, and more chances to turn raw wood into something meaningful. The Summer 2025 issue of Woodcarving Illustrated is packed with inspiring projects, expert instruction, and practical techniques to keep your skills moving forward all season long.

Inside, you’ll find step-by-step tutorials for carvers of all levels — from approachable beginner projects to detailed designs that help refine your control, shaping, and finishing techniques. You’ll also discover tool insights, carving tips, and patterns you can put to work right away.

Whether you’re carving at the picnic table, in the garage with the doors open, or between weekend adventures, this issue is built to help you sharpen your skills and enjoy the craft.

Make something this summer.
Slow down. Cut with intention. Build skill that lasts.
