You might know the popular Scandinavian game of kubb, a stick-throwing, block-knocking lawn game that originated during the Viking Age. But have you ever considered needing your own pocket-sized version to take wherever you go? In this workshop, students will practice some basic knife skills to shape pine and birch blocks, paint them in non-toxic milk paint, and add decorative flourishes using chip carving techniques. The finished set is perfect for setting up on a table anywhere for a quick kubb match!
