Bought for a new Whittler friend . Perfect book for a beginner

3.0 out of 5 stars I found myself watching YouTube videos

E. · 5 December 2023

It’s nice to have a book to refer to; but in this instance, I’ve found better success in watching videos online to see how it’s done as pics/text don’t always fully capture it. This book is good if you’re looking for a more in depth explanation but I didn’t find many projects that I actually wanted to do in it

4.0 out of 5 stars Good overall guide

R.S. · 21 April 2025

This book contains loads of ideas and tasks for someone interested in whittling. The projects are varied and it is a good place to start to know about how to use the different tools. It also has a good section on learning different techniques, as a beginner. My only hesitation is the fact that the projects themselves can be quite complex for a beginner. This could be more appropriate for someone who has had a little bit of experience and skill in whittling first.
