Are you on the lookout for a new skill to master?
Do you wish to have to surprise a loved one with a unique handmade gift?
Then whittling, or wood carving, is something for you!
Wood carving used to be an important skill in many cultures around the world until the 1960s, when electronic entertainment became more popular. But now old hobbies are returning, and whittling is among them.
But… how do you learn a skill that has been out of fashion for decades?
By reading a high-quality book, grabbing some wood and a knife, and practicing!
This book by Anthony McDeere is exactly what you want to create your first whittling projects. It is going to introduce you to the fascinating world of whittling and guide you through several projects. The book will give you a solid foundation that you’ll build on to turn into a master whittler.
With this book, you’re going to:
-
