Has carving knife (10 year warranty), leather strop, strop compund, sand paper, paint, finger protection, patterns, Basswood and cherry wood blocks, bandaids, step-by-step instructions and measuring tape. (I hope I didn't miss something there is alot of stuff in this kit.)The Comfort Bird is more than just a wooden bird—it symbolizes love, care, calmness, and peace. It can be a lifelong friend, providing solace when nobody else can.Great project of any age, I love this kit, I own many Beavercraft tools and love them all.

Fun carving kit! The box is packed full of goodies. Thr quality of the wood and the knife look fantastic. I'm excited to begin my wood carving journey. The booklet includes step by step instructions on how to carve the bird, tips for carving safely, and even show you how to wrap your fingers to keep them safe. Kit has sand paper ans beeswax included to give the finishing touch to the bird. There is also a tutorial video to help you out! Very satisfied.

This is a great kit for beginners who want to get into whittling or wood carving. It comes with everything you need to get started. It comes with knife, two blocks of wood of different hardnesses, leather strop, polishing compound, three different grits of sandpaper, cut resistant tape, bees wax, ruler, two stencil patterns and some bandaids. The directions that come with it are very basic. There is a QR code on the instructions that brings you to a little how to video that shows you the different knife cuts.What I didn’t like is there is nothing that tells you what species each block of wood is. After finding another how to video on YouTube posted by someone was I able to figure out that one block is basswood and the other is cherry. The lighter block is the basswood, which is the easier one to carve. That’s the practice block. The cherry is for the finished piece. The other thing I wish they had more info on was how to strop the knife blade. I had to look up more information on that as well. The booklet and online said to use the blue cut resistant tape but mine came with pink tape. Not a big deal but some people might get confused by that.Otherwise, this is a great way to get started in wood carving without having to buy a whole bunch of individual things. I am happy with the purchase and would definitely recommend it to someone wanting to get started in wood carving.

This kit is a lot of fun. It came with two blocks of wood. One Basswood the other Cherry. The Cherry is hard it was the first one I carved into a bird. Once you put the paper bird on with glue, it helps to saw off any excess. I love the knife. With a little touch up on the strop to keep it sharp ,It cuts good . I like the wax that came with the kit . It makes the Cherry bird that I carved look real nice. Now I am going to have to carve the other block . The sandpaper that came with it works very good. Every thing you get in the kit is a good value for what I paid. Very durable and tuff knife.

This is a decent kit as far as what it includes, but the wood and knife quality could be better. The wood I received is too hard to work with, and the darker parts splinter or crack off instead of being able to be carved off in smooth shavings. The knife issue may simply be a result of the hard wood, but it's definitely taking a beating and not holding up well. I ended up having to get a knife sharpener because the stropping wasn't enough to smooth it out or keep it sharp. I also bought metal files to help shave down some of the wood that's too hard to carve. This is becoming quite an expensive Mother's Day gift when I factor in the accessories I've had to buy just to make it possible. If the wood were softer and didn't splinter, this kit would be 5/5 stars.

This is a well-made and thoroughly thought out kit:The knife: blade keeps a good edge, is simple to hone to razor sharp, handle is contoured well for comfort during extended use, fitment of blade to handle is solid and snug.Wood blocks are kind on beginners, a great size to carve the suggested bird, and the wood shavings can even be saved to make fire starter balls.The instructions and glue-on diagram are clear and straightforward. There's no fluff or preamble novella to sort through to get straight into carving.

Received this comfort bird kit from BeaverCraft. It is great ! Comes with everything that you need to do two carvings. Including wood, patterns, sandpaper and the finish to put on once it is smooth. Also includes the knife and even a strop leather to sharpen with. I highly recommend this kit to anyone.
