From the Home Craftsman Series
This is a small, softcover book in excellent condition, designed to help beginners learn the fascinating art of creating projects from wood. A knife is the principal tool needed for all the projects except one, the tiki. Carving wood with a knife is called whittling. Most of the projects in this book were whittled. The projects are organized according to difficulty. With the help of this book, you will gradually proceed from very simple figures to more complex projects.
