It became the country's unofficial emblem. This kit carves one from a pre-shaped basswood blank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe blank arrives already cut to the horse's outline, so the work is shaping and detail rather than reducing a block. The paints are included, because a Dala horse is not finished until it is painted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is in the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA C14 carving knife with a wooden handle, a basswood horse blank, pencil, brush and paints, two sheets of P150 sandpaper, a leather strop with polishing compound, cut-resistant tape, a printed booklet and a video tutorial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe painting is half the project\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCarving takes an evening; painting takes another. The traditional finish is a solid red body with white and yellow kurbits patterning over it, but the paints supplied allow any scheme. Children who lose interest during carving usually reappear for this part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSafety\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis set contains tools with sharp edges. Handle them carefully, and use each tool only for the purpose it was designed for. Recommended from 14, with adult supervision for younger carvers. In carving the blunt knife is the dangerous one, since it has to be forced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eManufacturer and EU responsible operator\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured by BeaverCraft, Ukraine.\u003cbr\u003e\nResponsible economic operator in the European Union under Regulation (EU) 2023\/988: BeaverCraft GmbH, Mörsenbroicher Weg 191, 40470 Düsseldorf, Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Creatifwood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48055250583683,"sku":"DIY02","price":57.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/8818\/8035\/files\/diy-02-06_c20fcb6c-260c-4e43-ba15-f86f584090bd.jpg?v=1788291959","url":"https:\/\/creatifwood.fr\/products\/dala-horse-wood-carving-kit","provider":"CreatifWood","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
