This is an accessible guide to a hobby made for unplugging and connecting with the outdoors.

Beautiful lifestyle and how-to photographs inspire readers to carve simple projects that include a comb, catch-all tray, camping fork and knife, air plant hanger and pair of dice.

Woodworker Melanie Abrantes also includes information on choosing the right knife and wood, and tips on personalizing and maintaining a finished piece with staining, burning, monogramming and more.
