Carving a wooden egg

Printer-friendly version

Class Overview

In fifth grade woodworking, we begin with a study of concave surfaces by carving an egg (much more difficult than it sounds).

Students learn to respect essential rules for shop and personal safety, and for the proper care of tools and equipment. They will learn to use a professional set of carving knifes which they must sharpen and maintain.

As the year progresses, they learn to use other tools, such as rasps, files, and clamps. They will finish their project using sandpaper and organic finishes.
