Weekend Whittling Projects features step-by-step instructions, coordinating photography, and full-size patterns for a snail, bear, troll, and penguin. Author and talented woodcarver Sara Barraclough guides you through each adorable whittling project. For each project, you'll find complete material lists, painting guidance, and inspirational ideas for reimagining these charming characters into your own original masterpieces! Each project is designed to be made with just a carving knife and some imagination, so you can easily finish one in a weekend. There's also plenty of room to add your own flair and personality once you get the general shapes down. Carve these little characters anywhere, at camp, at the game, in the car while waiting to pick the kids up from school, and anywhere else you have a few spare minutes.
