Summary:
"Whittling can help you relax even as you create useful and beautiful art with just a knife and some timber. 'The Whittling Handbook' helps beginners explore this time-honored craft and learn foundational skills, from gathering the basic tools to choosing the right wood to keeping your knife sharp. Begin with straightforward projects like a garden dibber and paper knife, and then progress to more complex and intricate items such as a linked chain and a whistle. This new edition features fresh step-by-step illustrations to help readers achieve success. Easy-to-follow and full of friendly guidance from seasoned woodcarver Peter Benson, this guide is perfect for first-timers."--Back cover.
