safe and fun. Some of the projects in Woodcarving are practical for a child. A wooden whistle, percussion frog, and name plaque are among these. All of them are engaging and reinforce the knowledge and skills presented in the first part of the book. Woodcarving is a great way to introduce a child to craft skills that can serve him for a lifetime. Sometimes craft books are more about making memories than about building knowledge and skills. Woodcarving is a perfect example of one that does both.

Fox Chapel has launched a new Kid Crafts series, and one of the first volumes is Woodcarving, written by Ev Ellenwood. This is not an adult book dumbed down, but rather built from the ground up for young people. There is, of course, the expectation that the book will be used under adult supervision, at least with preteen and younger children.
At a 128 pages, this book is as thick as your average carving book, but at 8" x 8" is a size better suited to young hands. If you have a child or grandchild whom you'd like to interest in woodcarving, than this book may be the perfect Christmas or birthday present. If you have no young children or grands, but would like to help spread the art and craft, consider becoming a BSA woodcarving Merit Badge councilor; this publication would be an excellent adjunct to the merit badge handbook.
Get a bunch of woodcarvers sitting around with a cup of coffee in hand, and one of the issues that often arises is the future of woodcarving, particularly with regard to the number of young carvers (or lack thereof.) Go to almost any club meeting or caving show, and likely you'll find the vast majority of people are baby boomers or older, with sprinkling of 20

The Woodcarving title starts off well, with the 2 page spread of colored photos of "look what you can carve" and "here's all you need to get started" who can resisit? This one also includes great tips on skill building to keep beginners encouraged.
Excellent job
They are fabulous!
