It might seem to be true that you are not skilled in woodwork. But if you have little interest and a little time, then, Whittling Project Guide will give you the necessary training. However, if you are already a whittler or a woodcarver, then this book will finish your training and help hone your skills.
The terms "whittling" and "carving" are sometimes used interchangeably, but they are different arts. Chisels, furrows with or without a mallet are used for carving, while only a knife is used for whittling. Frequently, carving involves the use of powered devices such as lathes. In industrial areas of the world, it is primarily a hobby and not a professional activity as it was before motorized woodworking equipment made modern production possible. While any type of wood can be used for whittling, some woods are easier to work with and that carve better than others. Softwoods with a small grain, like basswood, are easier to cut and relatively inexpensive. Hardwoods are more difficult to carve.
