Carving with Fresh Material

In a calm and relaxed environment, you’ll learn safe and fun carving techniques to get started with whittling! We begin by splitting material from a log. We discuss what to consider when selecting which part of the log we should use, depending on what we’re going to carve. We check our knives to ensure they’re sharp. Then we start carving simple shapes. When you feel satisfied with your carving start, you can continue carving according to your own feeling or perhaps try one of the other courses.

A selection of practical and theoretical topics we cover based on interest:

• Choosing materials based on your project
• Splitting techniques
• Ergonomic and smart carving grips
• Tool maintenance
• Carving ergonomics depending on shape
• Different types of knives and their functions
• Carving larger shapes with an axe for those who are interested
