Includes the book Old Time Whittling. This book Although the word Whittling
may conjure images of old men making shavings while sitting on a bench in front
of the general store, its definition is simply any carving done with a knife. Learn the
basics while creating an egg, an old boot, a ball-in-the-cage, a wooden chain, a
ball-in-a-ball, an arrow through the heart, and more with this easy to follow text.
Wood selection, knife sharpening, and safety give the beginning carver a good
basic introduction. Ten projects with concise instructions and 50+ photographs
and diagrams. 60 pgs., softcover.
