Carving wood by hand is referred to as "whittling" and has been the calming pastime of choice for millions of people across time and space. It's easy to pick up with little more required than a knife and a stick. When you feel ready, get some carving wood to create knick knacks, tools, and decorations for your home or room or even carve on what you already have --- wooden spoons in the kitchen and the little box in which you keep your scrunchies can become a piece of art without losing its usefulness.
