Chris Lubkemann

Chris Lubkemann is the author of four other best-selling whittling books from Fox Chapel Publishing: "The Little Book Of Whittling", "Big Book Of Whittle Fun", "Whittling Twigs & Branches", and "Tree Craft". A child of missionaries, Chris Lubkemann grew up in the forests of Brazil and Peru, where he developed an appreciation for knives and entertained himself--and others--by handcrafting rafts, tree houses, traps, and slingshots from scrap wood. Since that time, he has continued to integrate his woodworking skills with good old-fashioned fun. Chris has carved some of the world's smallest branch carvings, and his smallest branch rooster was given a Guinness World Record Certificate. Chris currently demonstrates whittling as the resident woodcarver at the Amish Farm and House in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
