OverviewSnitte, Denmark's art of wood whittling, is a rite of passage for most Scandinavians and 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 and 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, and how to paint them delicately to bring out their colourful beauty. From the familiar robin, blue tit and chaffinch to the less common woodpecker, the book has templates for a dozen European birds. Whether you are new to whittling or are looking for a fresh project with your whittling skills, this is a perfect Full Product DetailsAuthor: Frank EgholmPublisher: Batsford Imprint: Batsford Dimensions: Width: 13.60cm , Height: 1.60cm , Length: 19.20cm Weight: 0.340kg ISBN: 9781849944403ISBN 10: 1849944407 Pages: 128 Publication Date: 13 July 2017 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In stock We have confirmation that this item is in stock with the supplier.
