### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Beginners Book for Whittling and Other Outdoor Knowledge
*by T***Y on December 25, 2013*

I was so impressed by this little book that I bought a copy for each of my adult children, along with a Victorinox Swiss Army Tinker, and a few other sharpening tools and materials, as well as a block of Basswood. They will be admonished to learn this skill and when the time is right, pass the skill and tools along to my grandchildren... or let me enjoy doing so.This is the first of two great books I have found for learning to whittle; the other is Whittlin' Whistles by Rick Wiebe. Both of these books are filled with illustrations and detail of technique for maintaining your pocketknife to whittle as well as be successful in the projects. On-line one can find instructions for whittling a whistle, a ball in cage, and other items, but a well-illustrated book is more effective. Another booklet I have found is Whittling for Beginners by Salty; this is available only from select Woodcarving stores.Lubkemann's book is a great resource for not only teaching the skill of whittling, but also it offers snippets of outdoorsman and woodlore knowledge covering a very broad range of topics - reminiscent of the Boy Scout Handbook or Field Book of years ago.Ten of his 90 pages cover topics of pocket knife selection (he prefers the versatility of the Swiss Army Tinker), sharpening, and whittling cutting techniques. Lubkemann's projects are drawn from art and utility from the out-of-doors, covering spoon, fork, spreader, carved figures, walking stick, sling-shot, whistle, and more. His raw material is the fallen branches found almost everywhere except for the densest urban setting.Highly recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book, I used to whittle a bunch as ...
*by I***N on July 29, 2015*

Excellent book , I used to whittle a bunch as a kid and life got in the way until now. I wanted to take it back up so I looked for the knife I used to use (now made in china) so picked a case stockman (medium) knife (awesome knife better then I used to have). Now onto the book.... First off I picked up two books and this is the best one by far for the beginner. It is very detailed on the projects with lots of east to understand pictures as well. Lots of good information from sharpening your knife to how to use it. Now the big bonus is for the true outdoorsman he provides tips on the bottom of the pages that I have only heard growing up in the scouts some were even new to me and I have multiple "survival" type books. Another great thing is he provides bubbles throughout the book with things like animal tracks and lots of other things to use in the outdoors I won't spoil it. For $10 it’s a bargain it will provide hours of things to do. If you need a book to relax and pass time in the outdoors this is one of my favorite ones yet.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for Beginners
*by L***L on January 10, 2010*

My son developed an interest in whittling after seeing someone at a craft show, and he wanted to try it himself. I bought him this book over a year ago, and he still pulls it out and works on the techniques. The instructions are easy to follow, and they give some good ideas for projects. It is written in such a way that he can either follow step by step, or he can just read through and then apply the techniques to his own projects. He has enjoyed doing both. The book itself is small, so it is easy for him to carry around. He has really enjoyed using the skills he has learned from this book.
