The starter carving kit includes everything you need to make a spoon as well as many other future projects. These are the exact tools I used to get started.

The three carving tools are made in Japan and selected specifically for the process of making a spoon. The blank is prepared for you, so you can skip the intimidating first step of finding suitable timber and figuring out how to cut it down. Included is everything you need to make your first spoon.

The starter carving kit makes a thoughtful gift for craft enthusiasts or woodworkers wanting to try the Japanese style of wood carving.

Inside the box you'll find:

• 9mm spoon gouge, 9mm straight chisel, 9mm angled chisel, made in Japan
