Learn to carve! Woodcraft: Master the Art of Green Woodworking with Key Techniques and Inspiring Projects by Barn the Spoon aka Barnaby Carder, green wood master craftsman. Backed up by 20 years of crafting and teaching experience Barn passionately introduces green woodworking. Green wood (freshly felled) is much softer than seasoned timber and is therefore pliable enough to be shaped with hand tools. Barn uses traditional woodworking tools and techniques to hand craft wooden objects that are both useful and beautiful. While no two pieces are exactly alike all are made with heart. All you need to begin is an unseasoned log, an ax and a hand knife. He shows how, via a series of projects that teach the fundamentals of green woodcraft. Contents includes chapters on knifework, axwork, turning, tools and hardware. See the complete table of contents below, along with sample pages. Woodcraft's pages are visually appealing and informative - a mix of easy to read type, large color photos and illustrations. This book will make you want to take up carving and join the resurgence in green woodworking! DK Publishing released the 256 page hardcover on April 16, 2019. Get your copy below!

Interesting, however I don't think I have a chance of making even anything as simple sounding as a spoon unfortunately.
