Each project uses a 1" x 1" x varying length block and can be completed in less than an hour. For instance, the cactus needs a 1" x 1" x 3" block, the wood spirit uses a 3/4" x 3/4" x 3" block, and the gnome a 1" x 1" x 2" block. The scale of the projects and the use of minimal tools and supplies make carving possible in virtually any space or location! Small and easy to carry along, you can whittle while camping, traveling, or waiting to pick the kids up from soccer practice.
