E-Books →Anyone Can Whittle! Carve Wood, Soap, Golf Balls & More in 30+ Easy Projects

Featuring more than 30 projects and high-quality, full-size whittling patterns, all you need is one knife, a few small items either found out in nature or around your home-from branches, green wood, and basswood eggs to soap, avocado pits, golf balls, and more-and this awesome whittling project book to get started. You'll be able to whittle jewelry, a human figure, woodland animals, functional utensils, and much more!
There are quick, simple projects for beginners, intermediate-level patterns that take an afternoon to complete, and advanced designs that could occupy your time in the wood shop for the whole weekend. Try a classic ball-in-cage whimsey, learn how to turn a golf ball into a face, an avocado pit into an owl, or a twig into a mini sculpture. Each project and pattern is small and simple, so they're easy to take with you on the road and keep carving anywhere you go!
Helpful introductory sections are included on the fundamentals of woodcarving, including basic cuts, wood and grain, safety, and whittling posture advice, with exercises and stretches so you can carve comfortably. Original patterns are contributed by today's leading carvers, such as Guinness World Record holder Chris Lubkemann, Harley Refsal, Janet Bolyard, Steve Tomashek, Bjarne Jespersen, Lori Dickie, Steven Kulp, Bob Kozakiewicz, and many other talented and award-winning artists!
