    Wood whittling is fast becoming a new hobby for nature lovers of all ages.

    The therapeutic removal of bark and sculpting of wood is an art form that can begin from an early age (we recommend 7 years) and continue into teenage years and well into adulthood. Whittling is an art form that can be as simple or as complex as you like.

    This book is a lovely guide to the traditional and relaxing craft of creative beautiful objects with nothing more than a knife and a piece of timber.

    Each project is broken down into clear steps, with full-colour numbered images and a list of what's needed.

    There's a comprehensive section on all kinds of techniques, tools, types of wood and safety.

    Author Peter Benson is a qualified teacher who began his own woodcarving school in 1996.

    This book provides endless inspiration for screen free fun in the forest or garden, and would pair beautifully with one of our Whittling Knives, Hand Drills or Whittling Gloves as a gift, or educational resource.
