About the Book

There's something timeless, almost magical, about taking a simple block of wood and a sharp knife, then slowly bringing a figure, a bird, or a whimsical creature to life. Whittling is not just a craft-it's an experience. It's the satisfying sound of wood shavings curling at your feet, the smell of fresh-cut timber lingering in the air, and the quiet joy of shaping something beautiful with your own two hands. In Whittling Techniques Made Simple, professional woodcarver Shelley Rios invites you into this rewarding world and shows you how to unlock your creativity-whether you've never held a carving knife before or you're looking to refine your skills. Shelley writes not as a distant instructor, but as a companion at your side, guiding you through every step with patience, clarity, and encouragement. Inside this book, you'll discover: The essential tools and woods every beginner should know, and how to choose them without wasting money. Clear, step-by-step knife techniques that transform hesitant cuts into confident strokes. Beautiful starter projects-from simple shapes and small animals to detailed figures-that build skill while sparking pride in your progress. Shelley's personal tips and professional secrets, drawn from years of hands-on experience, that help you avoid common mistakes and stay safe while carving. How to add finishing touches that turn rough carvings into polished treasures worthy of display or gifting. More than a manual, this book captures the heart of whittling as both a craft and a mindful practice. You'll learn not only how to create but also how to slow down, connect with the wood in your hands, and enjoy the process as much as the final result. Whether you're looking for a calming hobby, a way to make meaningful gifts, or the first step toward mastering wood carving, Whittling Techniques Made Simple will give you the confidence and knowledge to succeed. If you've ever dreamed of carving your own wooden figures but didn't know where to begin, let Shelley Rios guide you. With her voice in your ear and knife in your hand, you'll soon discover that whittling is more than just cutting wood-it's creating joy.
