Jögge Sundqvist's 'Karvsnitt' Features Slöjd Key Fob Project
In his book 'Karvsnitt: Carving, Pattern & Color in the Slöjd Tradition,' Jögge Sundqvist introduces a fun project for making a colorful chip-carved key fob that helps you tell your keys apart without any text. This beginner-friendly project requires several tools, including a saw, axe, drawknife, and chip carving knife, as well as a 4mm drill. For materials, you'll need straight-grained birch, alder, willow, or aspen, plus some metal wire or a small staple. The wood piece should be around 20-25cm long and end up measuring 6 x 30 x 80mm. The steps involve splitting the wood, sketching designs, drilling, sawing, carving, and painting. The book also includes 15 other projects, from simple knife handles to detailed boxes and combs.
