Carve
Penned by Bay Area cork and woodworker Melanie Abrantes, Carve: A Simple Guide to Whittling provides a fresh take on an age-old hobby. The hardbound book features a dozen different projects that are designed to be useful in the kitchen, at home, and in the great outdoors. Each project will only set you back a few hours, and only a couple of tools are required. The pocket-sized book is also easy to take along to wherever you find whittling inspiration.
