<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>What better way to while away</strong> <strong>your time than to whittle? Peter Benson, author of <em>Whittling Handbook</em>, gives the first-timer the perfect introduction to the simple, yet pleasurable woodcarving pastime.</strong></p> <p><strong>Colorful photographs</strong> show each step in the process of making a host of items with nothing more than a knife and a piece of timber. <strong>The handbook guides the user through the basics for simple projects then progresses to more intricate items.</strong> The first seven chapters explain the tools, knives, and wood needed as well as how to start and what to have in your toolbox.</p> <p><strong>Clearly presented, easy instructions</strong> <strong>show the whittler how to complete 20 fun projects, including: </strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>forks</strong></li> <li><strong>whistles</strong></li> <li><strong>spoons</strong></li> <li><strong>back scratchers</strong></li> <li><strong>perching birds</strong></li> <li><strong>dog head stick handles</strong></li> </ul> <p><strong>Whittling is an art form</strong> <strong>and the handbook explores the time-honored craft of creating attractive objects at little cost. Peter Benson iterates that basic premise in the introduction: The big advantage of this hobby is there is no great initial expense. You can get under way with just a sharp knife, a safety glove, perhaps an apron, and a piece of wood. Even the wood can be found in the garden or countryside for no cost at all.</strong>
