A tool for engraving and sculpting wood is always nice to have, but often carrying around the entire Jedi bushcrafter master kit isn't very practical :-)

Lately I've been going crazy for these foldable and compact tools with which to sculpt wood easily.

How many times are we in front of the fire and want to carve a spoon from a piece of wood? Or do we try to impress the little blonde in the next tent by making her a special pendant in front of her eyes?

I'm not good at wood carving, but I'm having a lot of fun with this toy and that's what counts in the end, right? We are faced with a useful product to start with, mind you, nothing professional :-)

TOOLS

You can count on the following tools:

• Small blade for details
• Chisel
• Hook blade
• Blade with V profile
• Curved blade (great for spoons)
• Curved gouge

CARVING TIPS

• Take things slowly , rushing will only produce great cuts on your hands.
• Keep the blades sharp.
• Always try to interpret the grain of the wood and its resistance.
• Clean the instrument well when you return , especially if you had fun with fresh sticks!
• Patches! A small cut on your hand is very likely , especially when in the woods you feel like Mauro Corona and start carving pieces of art. Make sure you have your medical kit with you when carving.
• If bad stuff comes out, tell everyone that it's not your fault but it's the wood that feels that way and should be respected. They will look at you strangely, but they will believe it!
