A branch, a knife and a small saw - that’s all you need for carving. Starting with materials, technology and tools, Antje and Susann Rittermann present over 50 projects using clear step-by-step drawings. Horse, diver, shark, box and name tag: there is something for every taste. Whether made from a log, straight, bent or assembled branches - the figures and objects that are created from it are as different as the piece of wood. Various levels of difficulty and numerous design options provide a wealth of experience with which one’s own ideas can be implemented. "Werkstatt Schnitzen" is a basic book for children who are picking up a carving knife for the first time and also for those who have already gained their first experience.
