From the Associate Editor's Desk

Our esteemed editor, Mr. Robert Becker, has asked me to step up to the plate and write the editorial for this issue of Creative Woodworks & Crafts, and I have gladly accepted the offer.

It has been my great pleasure to work very closely with Robert these last few months on producing for you, our readers, the best magazine possible. Over this period of time, I have had the opportunity, as well, to work with a team of great designers (Dirk Boelman, John Polhemus, Sheila Bergner-Landry, Larry Goodwin, Wayne Fowler, and so many others), our very talented art director Kelly Albertson, and of course our good friend, regular contributor and photographer Wes Demarest. I would like to thank all of our contributors, named and unnamed, for making our tasks here amicable, productive, and continually charged with creativity.

As to the specifics of this issue, we have a ton of exciting projects lined up for you.

A first-time contributor, Rob Letvinchuck, has crafted a beautiful Snow Buck Intarsia project that seems almost literally to jump out at you when you stand back and admire its very professional design and strong circular frame. We give Rob two thumbs up on his genuine creative effort, and certainly look forward to sharing more of his work with you in the future.

With the overwhelmingly positive reaction our editorial team and John Polhemus received following the publication of his shop tour (which in fact contributed greatly to our making "his a regular feature in the magazine), we couldn't help but give you an update of what's going on in John's shop. Being the prolific designer that he is, John has also created an extremely practical pattern layout with which to fashion feet for those projects that need a little lift. Once again, John has somehow outdone himself, proving time and time again that there really are no limits when you allow your creativity to take over.

In addition to all of the other great scrolling projects we have here, the short history of saw blades (which you are sure to find amusing), and the second installment of our fantastic mini lathe series, we have also included some more ornaments from Dirk Boelman for your "last-minute" Christmas plans. Keep your eyes peeled for some more ornaments from B.J. Holm in the upcoming issue, as well as the projects featured below.

I wish I had more space to write specifically about all of the great stuff we have here, but as it is I will let you see for yourself. Enjoy!
