* Contributors Charles Bender began woodworking at the age of 12. In his teens he studied under a German Master at his local vocational technical school who taught him the value and proper use of hand tools. For more than 30 years he's honed his skills creating masterpieces for clients throughout the country. Since completing his apprenticeship and starting his own period-furniture business in 1991, Charles has been recognized as one of America's top traditional craftsmen. His work is in private collections, museums and at some of the best juried craft shows in the country. In his first story for Popular Woodworking, he carves Spanish feet (page 55). In 2007, Charles added the title of "woodworking mentor" to his r£sum£ and started the Acanthus Workshop (acanthus.com), a school for fine craftsmanship. Doug Fulkerson says woodworking has been in his blood (or perhaps his blood has been on wood) ever since as a farm boy in Hart County, Ky., he got his first splinter from a tobacco stick. He and his father watched "The New Yankee Workshop" and "The Wood wright's Shop" just about every weekend. But Doug didn't seriously start putting tools to wood until about 1994 when in graduate school working on a history degree, he came across a book called "The Traditional Bowyer's Bible, vol. 1." He was hooked immediately on making wooden bowsand arrows, from English longbows to Native American flat bows using just hand tools. At his wedding, Doug gave his groomsmen Cherokee hunting bows and arrows he made from red oak harvested from his father's farm. Doug wrote the "Out of the Woodwork" column in this issue, on page 72.

She designed, sculpted and exhibited band-sawn boxes and other woodworks professionally for more than a decade. During that time, she earned several awards and invitations to juried shows, and collectors worldwide own her work. Medical issues have curtailed Lois' full-time woodworking, but she still takes on occasional woodcraft challenges both in and out of the shop. She recently worked with Popular Woodworking Books editors to create "Sculpted Band Saw Boxes"; Lois designed the nine boxes built by the editors, and 32 examples of her own work serve as additional visual inspiration. "Twister," built by former Senior Editor David Thiel, begins on page 58 of this issue.
