More than just a ‘how-to’ book, the author’s passion for wood carving as a sustainable craft and his connection to wood and nature shines through on every page.

Green Wood Carving includes fascinating information about wood, how it grows, how to use it and what makes it unique. The main carving tools, their uses, and how to look after them are also explained. From coat hooks and candlesticks to spoons and mugs, detailed step-by-steps explain each of the nine projects in words, photographs and drawings.

Simpler projects such as the coat hook, the bag clip, the candlestick, pot hanger, forest pencil and spoon are followed by advanced projects, including the kuksa (wooden mug) and shrink pot.
