Synopsis
Carve is the ultimate whittling guide.
Norwegian Wood meets How to Tie a Tie in this irresistible gift for DIY enthusiasts. Using just a tool or two (a pocketknife and a gouge), readers will learn how to whittle 12 small objects, from a coffee spoon to a pair of dice, that take just a few hours to finish--and in the process carve out a little peace and quiet for themselves.
Carve is an accessible guide to a hobby made for unplugging and connecting with the outdoors.
Beautiful lifestyle and how-to photographs inspire readers to carve simple projects that include:
- A Comb
- Catch-all Tray
- Camping Fork and Knife
- Air Plant Hanger
- Pair of Dice
- and more.
Woodworker Melanie Abrantes also includes information on choosing the right knife and wood and tips on personalizing and maintaining a finished piece with staining, burning, monogramming, and more.
