Bob Duncan

Magazine Editorial

After a “misspent” youth growing up in a woodshop, I guess it shouldn't be a surprise that I got involved with woodcarving. It must be in my blood! In addition to working with various contributors, wood carvers and scroll saw fans, I monitor the Carving World message board as well as other Internet communities providing information and offering opinions. One thing does stick out about the people I work with; carvers and woodworkers are friendly people. From the carver who gave me my first carving knife to the authors I work with every day, I've never met a woodworker I didn't like.
