Woodland Whittling

Woodland Whittling

by Peter Benson

When the stresses of modern life get too much, what could be better than gathering a few simple tools, heading into the woods and literally whittling away a few hours? The gentle art of whittling is a relaxing and absorbing hobby that can be enjoyed almost anywhere, where you are sitting around a campfire or in a cozy armchair at home.

All you need is a good pocket knife, a piece of wood, and your imagination. Projects range from the beautifully simple to impressively intricate—it’s up to you.

This delightful book guides you through the basics, explaining what equipment you need, how to hold the knife, and what timber to use.
