A fascinating practical introduction to the Danish art of whittling, with inspiration & instructions for making adorable decorative wooden birds. Snitte, Denmark`s art of wood whittling, is a rite of passage for most Scandinavians, & the passion for it lasts a lifetime. Wood whittling`s practical, outdoorsy nature has been married to fine craftsmanship in this beautiful book about creating wood-sculpted birds that can be left uncoloured & crisp as they are in wood or coloured carefully to make exquisite sculptures. Written by a passionate Danish woodsman, Frank Egholm, the book teaches even the beginner the basics of wood whittling a bird shape with step-by-step demonstrations (and templates), how to mount them elegantly on real pieces of wood, & how to paint them delicately to bring out their colourful beauty.
