Melanie Abrantes

Melanie Abrantes brings an accessible approach to whittling in her "Carve: A Simple Guide to Whittling." I appreciated how Abrantes offered step-by-step guides to a wide variety of projects that can be used in the kitchen, bathroom, living room, and bedroom. There's even a section on whittling projects that can be finished during a camping trip. I also appreciated the details and suggestions on the types of wood that Abrantes offered for each project.

The texture of the cover is appropriate - feels almost like the cover was whittled itself :)

The only problem I had with this book was the templates at the end of the book. Many of them spanned across two pages, making it difficult to copy the templates to whittle.

Overall, great intro to whittling, but definitely just a start.
