With little more than a knife, a branch and a dose of concentration this book shows how to create unique keepsakes that are fun to make, make great gifts and are popular items for sale. Author Chris Lubkemann shares his lifelong love of whittling in Whittling Twigs & Branches. Inside, there's everything needed to master the basic woodworking technique called curling to create birds, trees and flowers. Also inside is a picture gallery of finished pieces including table lamps, whimsical characters, letter openers, desk plaques and chess sets, to give inspiration.

Chris Lubkemann was born in Brazil and remembers his earliest attempts at woodcarving at age seven, deep in the Amazon rain forest. His appreciation for wood and love for making things from it never stopped.
