How to Whittle contains 25 beautiful and original designs to
handcraft. Featuring a range of projects, from beautiful polished
butter knives and lovespoons to custom-made coat hooks and bespoke
building blocks, this book also provides advice on selecting the
best wood for your projects together with details of a range of
finishes that will take the items from rustic objects to stunning
showpieces. The full-colour photography and step-by-step
instructions will guide beginners through every stage of the
whittling process, from selecting and maintaining carving knives,
to luxurious finishing techniques such as sanding, oiling, and
curing surfaces. This age-old craft is easier than you imagine, and
the process is therapeutic and rewarding in itself. How to Whittle
is the perfect introduction to an inexpensive and beautiful
material that can be used to create heirloom gifts and unique
keepsakes.
