Explore a new hobby with traditional roots: whittling! The Scandinavian-style whittling projects created by woodworker Frank Egholm in The Danish Art of Whittling will inspire novices and experts alike with their beauty and simplicity. From children's toys (a bird whistle, a ring catcher) to practical items (door hooks, buttons, carved flowers, even a chess set) all of these "simple projects for the home" include visual step-by-step instructions to guide you. And, please, put your pocket knife away: We're offering this high-quality, Swedish-made, 10-inch Whittling Knife— the same model featured in the book—with a laminated steel blade, an oiled birch handle, and a protective scabbard.
