Danish craftsman Frank Egholm shares his passion for simple woodcarving in this illustrated guide full of beautiful Scandinavian projects. You'll find wooden toys (including a bird whistle, play sword, and animal figures), practical items like door hooks and butter knives, and decorative buttons, necklaces, a chess set, and surprisingly delicate carved flowers.
