Handgeschnitzt! is an inspiring introduction to carving with fresh wood (greenwood). Simple, functional, and colourful wooden objects are created with a knife and an axe. The author follows the tradition of Slöjd, a collective term for rural self-sufficiency techniques that, in addition to wood, also include working with textiles and metal. Jögge Sundqvist connects this tradition with the modern world by painting them colourfully and has developed a distinctive style. He shows how to make spoons and ladles, bowls, butter knives and a cake server, coat hangers, buttons and handles, pegboards, curtain rods, cutting boards, and even a knife and a stool. What tools and equipment are needed? How do you choose the right materials? Which types of wood and techniques are best suited for the various objects? The book contains everything you need to know!
