Japanese Coffee Measure Whittling Kit

We found these DIY wood whittling kits in Japan and couldn’t wait to bring them back.

Whittle away the block form to your desired shape, sand down any rough edges and then varnish with the beeswax.

Experience the satisfaction of learning a new craft, and then using a wooden coffee measure carved with your own fair hands. Wrapped in fun Japanese packaging, they’d also make a great gift for someone who loves making things, as a first step in to the world of woodcraft.

The kit contains a Japanese Beech wood block, three grades of sandpaper, beeswax and cloth. A knife is not included as part of the kit, but a small craft knife or pen knife would be sufficient.
