It introduces how to make beautiful objects used in everyday life such as spoons, spatula, butter knives, cutting boards, and bowls with a few simple tools.Wood carving is a field of carpentry, but it does not require much equipment compared to other carpentry, and its biggest feature is that it can be done without sophisticated techniques.Even if you don't have a workshop, you can do it at home enough, and it doesn't matter if you don't have excellent hand skills.

Introduction of the book provided by the publisher

Jacket detail image-S1L2

Anyone can do wood carving.It doesn't require expensive equipment or a large workshop.All you have to do is start with a mind to learn.Max Bainbridge introduces how to make beautiful objects that can be used in real life, such as spoons, spatula, butter knives, cutting boards, and bowls, with a few simple tools.The book details the information needed by a beginner woodworker, from how to get wood cheaply to how to use tools, how to finish and manage tools.
Making something by hand is rediscovering one's value.It has the power to restore lost self-esteem, to care for an empty life, and to soothe a dizzy mind.I hope you can meet nature through wood carving and feel the warm comfort of trees.

"In my childhood, in my backyard, I made a bow and an arrow and shot it.Grooves were dug on both sides of the branch so that the rope could be caught, and the handle was peeled off to reveal the white flesh.Perhaps this experience has affected me for a long time.Realization that you can make a useful object with just one branch and a very simple task.The power to reveal the hidden value of the tree as something visible through simple manipulation.This infinite possibility brings me excitement and wonder so far, as it did when I first cut down the tree."

It's okay if you're clumsy!Wood carving that anyone can do.
Wood carving is to cut down trees by hand to make objects that can be used in real life.Author Max Bainbridge introduces how to make beautiful objects used in everyday life, such as spoons, spatula, butter knives, cutting boards, and bowls, with a few simple tools.Wood carving is a field of carpentry, but it does not require much equipment compared to other carpentry, and its biggest feature is that it can be done without sophisticated techniques.Even if you don't have a workshop, you can do it at home enough, and it doesn't matter if you don't have excellent hand skills.If you do well, you have a refined look, and if you don't, you have a rugged charm.No matter how it is cut, it becomes a unique work that reveals the personality of the creator.The author was also not a professional carpenter who had been doing carpentry for a long time.The author, who majored in pure art, says he started wood carving with several books, YouTube, and a few bandages.Three years later, the author became a craftsman and carver who ran a workshop called Forest + Found.

Easy and detailed information for a beginner woodcutter
The author wrote this book with the hope that people can easily start wood carving like him.The book details the types of wood commonly used for wood carving, how to pick wood, how to use tools safely and effectively, how to finish and finish oil, how to sharpen knives and manage tools.Each making is organized so that you can learn increasingly difficult skills, starting with easy ones depending on the difficulty level, and there are proper detailed photos of each step, so anyone can easily understand and follow.Most of the tools in the book are available at local tool stores or on the Internet.Wood carving is something you can start right away with just one carving knife.

Urban Woodsman, The Value and Meaning of Woodcarving
Some people might say this."Why are you cutting it so hard?If you go to the mart, there are a lot of cheap goods." Wood carving may not be a very economical activity if you think about simply buying one item.However, that's why wood carving is all the more meaningful in a consumption-oriented era.Easily bought things are bound to be thrown away just as easily.However, there is a special relationship between a person and an object made by himself.As much as you spend time and effort, you can feel proud and happy every time you use it, and you can't easily throw it away.Woodcarving is not in a hurry and aims for a slow attitude of life living with nature.This is why the book is called Urban Woodsman, even though it is a carving guidebook.The whole book contains the desire to live in the city as a part of the forest and nature.Just by looking at the way wood is obtained.
"I have long had relationships with forest managers and small ranches that make furniture.If you get close to other craftsmen, you may have the opportunity to receive regular supplies of wood that will go to the dump anyway.It is very meaningful in itself to take the by-products of other tasks that were destined to be abandoned and make useful objects."
The wood that the author mainly uses is small trees obtained from colleagues or trees thinned out by forest managers for forest management.It is naturally practicing an ecological life.
The author also said, "I hope that through this book, you will fall into the magical work of making something."As the author says, there are times when you really carve.If you concentrate while listening to the sound of cutting trees, there is no time for miscellaneous thoughts to come in, and your dizzy mind becomes calm.The act of making something by moving your hands has the richness and healing power of immersion.In times of anxiety, stress is extreme and many people suffer from panic disorder.It's lethargic, empty, and hard to protect your self-esteem.What helps in this case is physical immersion.If you build up small achievements little by little, you will meet yourself who has become stronger.I recommend this book to those who want to feel a small sense of accomplishment in a world where nothing goes their way.Why don't you grab a wooden and carving knife instead of a smartphone or keyboard today?
