Introduction

I am so excited to introduce these four little carving projects! They are designed to be made with just a carving knife and some imagination—no cutouts or power tools, just good ol’ fashioned whittling. There’s plenty of room to add your own flair and personality once you get the general shapes down.

People who know me know that I carve in my car—A LOT. All of these creatures were created in my car, so all I had were a detail knife and a rough out knife. I like my carvings to be easily transportable, so you can carve one anywhere—from a campsite to a baseball game. Although these are “small” carves, there is plenty of material to take off, so MAKE THOSE CHIPS FLY!
