"An Elephant in the Whittling Room "

This Linden Wood Whittling Kit (or LWWK) is a great entry into the world of wood carving. The stainless steel carving knife has a nice weight to it and the wooden handle feels comfortable in the hand. The elephant design is cute and quirky, perfect for both adults and kids. However, the kit loses points for the quality of the elephant shaped blank. It's a bit too soft and porous, making it difficult to get clean cuts without causing unsightly gouges. Additionally, the instructions could be more detailed, especially for beginners. Overall, if you're looking to dip your toes into the world of whittling and have a love for elephants, the LWWK is a decent option. Just be prepared for some trial and error when it comes to the included blank.

Pros
  • This carving kit is constructed from premium-quality materials that are easy to grip and work. The stainless steel carving knife is sharp and durable, while the timber handle provides a comfortable and safe grip for easy handling
Cons
  • Due to the intricate elephant design on the included blank for carving, beginners may find it difficult to achieve a smooth and polished finish, which could be frustrating for those just starting out in the hobby.
