“But I’ve never carved anything — and I’m not very good with my hands”
Most people who take up whittling have never held a carving knife before.
You don’t need a workshop, expensive power tools or any natural talent. A good knife, a block of soft wood and a few basic cuts are all it takes to start.
What makes the difference is clear guidance: which wood to choose, how to hold the knife safely, which cut to use and when — so you don’t waste wood or lose heart.
That’s why we put together Wood Carving for Beginners and its two companion books. Instead of piecing things together from videos that skip the important bits, you’ll have three complete, easy-to-follow books that take you from your first shaving to finished pieces you’ll want to keep, display or give as gifts.

Your first weekend project
A simple wooden spoon is the classic first carving. Here’s how the collection takes you there, step by step.
| Step | What you’ll do | Book |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Choose a straight-grained wood — freshly cut (green) birch carves easily, or use a basswood blank — and get to know your knife | Book 1 |
| 2 | Practise the three essential cuts — the push cut, the pull cut and the stop cut — on scrap wood | Book 1 |
| 3 | Draw the spoon outline, rough out the shape with your knife and hollow the bowl with a hook knife | Book 2 |
| 4 | Let it dry for a few days, then sand smooth and finish with food-safe oil | Book 3 |
Take your time — there’s no rush. Many beginners finish their first spoon over a weekend, a little at a time.
🔪 Carving safely — and responsibly — in Canada
Book 1 starts with safety, because sharp tools deserve respect. You’ll learn to keep your hands and body out of the blade’s path, brace your thumb safely for controlled pull cuts, wear a cut-resistant glove on your holding hand and take a break when you’re tired.
A carving knife is a tool, and owning one for whittling is perfectly normal. Use it only for carving, never carry it as a weapon, and when you take your tools to a class or a club, carry them wrapped or sheathed in your tool bag or box and keep them there until you need them. Some retailers only sell knives to customers aged 18 or over.
Always keep your tools sharp, stored safely and out of reach of children.
Rules on buying and carrying knives can vary by province and municipality, so check the rules where you live.

Frequently asked questions
What wood should a beginner use?
Straight-grained woods are easiest — basswood is the classic choice, and white birch (best carved green) and poplar also work well. The book explains how to pick a good blank and which woods to avoid at first.
What tools do I need to start?
Just a good-quality carving knife, a cut-resistant glove and some sandpaper. If you want to make spoons, you’ll also need a hook knife (spoon knife) to hollow the bowl. The book tells you what’s worth buying and what isn’t.
Is wood carving safe?
Yes, if you follow a few simple rules: use a sharp knife (blunt ones slip), wear a cut-resistant glove and keep your hands and body out of the line of the cut. Book 1 covers all of this step by step.
Can children use the books?
The books are written for adults. Older children can try carving with close adult supervision, using a knife an adult buys and looks after.
