Blades & Brews: Wood Carving at Mighty Squirrel Waltham

Celebrating Owl Eyes Wilderness Survival's 10th anniversary!

Join us at Mighty Squirrel to learn how to carve wood into spoons. Students will learn knife techniques, safety, and blade sharpening at the beginning of class. Class will also cover the overall "how-to" on carving. All tools and materials will be provided including knives, hook knives, sharpeners, and locally sourced carving wood.
