Wildfowl Carving Magazine is a United States periodical dedicated to the art of bird carving. It is published by Stackpole Books of Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, and comes out four times a year (Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter). The magazine was originally titled Wildfowl Carving and Collecting Magazine. The first issue was dated Spring 1985 and included an article by Charles W. Frank about woodburning techniques, a feature about an Ernie Muehlmatt meadowlark, a wood duck reference article, Roger Schroeder’s piece about the Long Island decoys in the collection of George Combs, Jr., an interview with carver Joy Yox, some color photos of a green-winged teal sculpture by Robert K. Searles, and other features. The editor was Tracy Patterson. In 1986 Cathy Hart took over as editor, a post she held through the Spring 2001 issue. The editors since have been Candice Tennant (who became Candice Derr when she got married), Daniel Marsteller, Bill Einsig, and Tom Huntington. In 1999 the magazine dropped “collecting” from the title so it could focus more on the how-to aspect of carving. In 1989 the magazine published Competition '88, the first edition of an annual magazine that covers carving competitions in the United States and Canada.
