Seasoned woodcarver Peter Benson guides readers through the basics of whittling, explaining what equipment is needed, giving essential advice on best practices, and showing how to carve safely. The projects present easy-to-follow instructions that increase in difficulty.

Readers can hone their whittling skills as they make their way through the book.

Projects include:

• A dolphin


• A polar bear


• A kingfisher

And so many more beautiful wildlife favourites.
