Working With Wood Books

They say one of the "purest" forms of woodcarving is whittling branches and twigs.

So grab a knife, branch, and this book and start creating small art that is fun to make and give away or sell.

Chris Lubkemann has been a woodcarver since age seven, and teaches you everything you need to know to create birds, trees, flowers, and more.

You will learn about choosing and sharpening a knife, finding the best woods, and making curls in wood. A sample rooster project is included, and you will receive advice on shaping the body and tail, and painting and finishing the project.

You will also learn other designs, like pheasants, herons, roadrunners, and foliage. Also what to do when your carving just doesn't work as planned.
