It’s completely silent and concentration is total. All focus is on carving the stick, sliver by sliver, on carefully evening out the edges of the piece of wood. Is it going to be a bark boat? A barbecue stick? Or maybe even a magic wand? A stick is not a stick! Working with a vegetable peeler and a stick can give long moments of pleasure. It gives adult and children alike an almost meditative feeling of being in the present. As always when working with a vegetable peeler one needs to have respect for the tool, both adults and children alike. When I carve wood together with children, we need to be aware of what we do with the tool, how we carve and how we behave.
