Heirloom Wood: A Modern Guide to Carving Spoons, Bowls, Boards, and Other Homewares

Simple woodworking projects teach you to craft beautiful, long-lasting household and kitchen items from a piece of wood. Identify wood types, source timber, set up a basic toolbox, and start carving and cutting. Learn to create hand-carved bowls, cutting boards, spoons, knives, coffee scoops, and spatulas. Finish your projects in a classy way—learn to sand, ebonize, scorch, and texture the surfaces, as well as wax and oil your new creations. The photographs make it all look rather chic, but you don't have to have a fancy home to follow these clear instructions, learn a cool new skill, and make that wooden spoon you promised yourself you'd learn to carve.
