The perfect introduction to the simple, yet immensely pleasurable, craft of creating attractive objects with nothing more than a knife and a piece of timber. Whittling can be as simple or as complex as you like, and this guide walks readers through the basics, starting with straightforward projects like a garden dibber and paper knife before progressing to more intricate items such as a linked chain and whistle. The tools needed, along with core techniques and how to use them safely, are all covered clearly throughout.
Projects include a butter spreader, fork, cane toppers, bookmark, and decorative pieces like a polar bear and nuthatch.

Very prompt delivery every time Ive placed an order. I would recommend them to anyone.
Great product! Just as described by the seller.
Great Service as always, love these.
The whole experience with the team at Aus Maker Supplies has been amazing! They suggested the belts that will best fit my required jobs, with very fast responses. And when I accidentally put the wrong address in they redirected it free of charge for me. Thank you so much !
One of two Google reviews I've ever posted: Great stock and pricing combined with excellent customer service. Highly recommend. On ya Tim!
Nice belts to have in the toolbox. They let you get into radiuses that are otherwise tricky.
These belts are just the thing for budding knife makers and they are also great for removing skin from the fingertips when you get things completely wrong. I'm mending nicely and the belt is none the worse for the encounter. I give them a solid A plus!
Great service as always, belts really move metal.
My order was delivered very quickly and well packaged. The personal touch that Tim provides is a welcome bonus. Thanks Tim!

Fantastic product for our knife re-handling project! The website is really easy to navigate, with excellent images and information on all available products. Delivery time was super quick and we loved the hand-written note and lollies included in the package :)
