Description
A refreshed edition of a practical and charming introduction to the time-honoured craft of whittling—now with brand-new step-by-step illustrations.
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-honoured 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 kitchen spatula, and then progress to more complex and intricate items such as a linked chain and a whistle. Easy-to-follow and full of friendly guidance from seasoned woodcarver Pete Benson, this guide is perfect for first-timers.
