Anya had whittled a few things (even a crochet hook!) with her multi-tool, so I bought a set of actual wood carving knives, safety gloves, and basswood cubes. She’s been doing a lot of wood carving this summer, and she’s gotten really good! The left-hand owl was coated with linseed oil and submitted for a local art showcase. The snowman has the cutest (and pointiest!) little stick “carrot” nose.
