Tommy Rogers developed a set of photographs to help his students carve a mallard head. He shared his work with IWCA, and we've added his step-by-step directions for this how-to article.
IWCA is looking for experienced carvers willing to share their techniques and skills to help new carvers. If you'd like to help encourage new carvers, contact

IWCA offers a dictionary of terms and jargon used by carvers around the world. If you are new to the wildfowl carving fraternity, we hope you'll find this dictionary helpful. And if it doesn't hold the terms you are searching for, please send that term to us so we can add it to the dictionary for all future users.
If you are an experienced carver, you'll be familiar with most of these terms, and many more. Please contribute ideas, both terms and definitions, and let us know if a definition we post is weak or inaccurate.
Expect this dictionary to grow with photographs, links, examples, and other educational attributes that help new carvers, and perhaps some experienced carvers, understand the jargon used in different ways at different shows in different parts of the world.
