The simple and beautiful art of woodcarving is adapted for children of all ages
in this introduction to coaxing shapes and figures from solid blocks of wood.
Requiring only a few tools and some inspiration, the projects in this collection
are perfectly suited to building the skills it takes to work with wood. Safety
and adult supervision are emphasized, but children will be able to complete the
age-appropriate designs all by themselves. The graded projects range from
carving a name stamp—for the youngest woodworkers—to carving a face—for teenaged
craftspeople. The book also touches on computer-aided pattern-making, teaching
children who face learning challenges, and methods for instructing kids of each
age group—from elementary through high school. With its quick results and
cumulative skill-building, learning to carve fosters hand-eye coordination and
confidence as young carvers turn out unique handicrafts
