Are you looking for a new skill to master?

Do you want 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 need to create your first whittling projects. It will introduce you to the fascinating world of whittling and guide you through several projects. The book will give you a solid foundation that you can build on to become a master whittler.

• Learn how to choose the ideal type of wood for your whittling projects - any wood can be used for whittling, but its hardness and texture should match your skill and the type of sculpture you're planning to create.

• Get to know the wide variety of tools used for whittling - for your first projects, you'll only need a pocket knife, but as your skills develop, you'll master the use of other tools.

• Practice the fundamental techniques of whittling!
• Complete exciting whittling projects that range from easy to hard - wooden animals, spoons, cups, bows, a boomerang and many more!
• Get the inspiration that you need to create your own whittling projects!
