Making is mindfulness made practical, and whittling is renowned as a restorative and rewarding craft. Drawing on the traditions of green woodworking, Barn the Spoon has created 20 modern makes, ranging from simple tools (including the classic spoon) to decorative items such as animals and woodprints. Through clear photography, step-by-step illustrations and affirming text, he shares the basic techniques of whittling and shows how these can be developed for different projects, all the while reconnecting us to natureÕs raw materials.
