Are you, stumped by the huge variety of carving tools, not being able to tell the difference, between a gouge and a chisel? Are you ready to expand your toolbox with advanced wood carving equipment, but don't know where to start? Whittling, and woodcarving in general, is an extremely beneficial craft hobby. It lowers stress and blood pressure, supports mindfulness, trains concentration, and reconnects you with nature, leaving you calm and relaxed.

But, the simplicity of whittling and other carving techniques can be deceiving. This is a complex craft, especially if you're looking to upgrade your skills and explore some more elaborate techniques and equipment. In Intermediate Guide to Whittling, you will discover: - A 'how-to' on 4 wood carving techniques -incised carving, chip carving, intaglio, and relief carving, suitable for both beginners and advanced carvers - Dozens of projects that cover all the techniques, including advanced whittling patterns to help you progress and upgrade your skills - Advanced carving tools you'll need in order to explore different carving techniques, from detail knives to V-tools and veiners - A guide on carving accessories that professionals use to carve their masterpieces - Why getting familiar with the anatomy of wood will make you a better carver, and how to avoid the "splitting the grain" mistake all carvers dread - Which sharpening stones to use to keep your tools in top shape, including the pros and cons of each one - A full list of surface and penetrating finishes: you'll find out their properties, how to use them, and when NOT to use them to avoid classic beginner's mistakes And much more! Even though we're mostly talking about intermediate or advanced wood carving here, beginners will have no trouble keeping up.
