This gift would inspire and encourage him to explore new ideas and improve his craft.

3. Customized wood carving apron or smock: Find a personalized apron or smock specifically designed for woodcarving. You can have his name or a special message embroidered on it. This gift will not only protect his clothes from wood shavings and dust but also make him feel proud and connected to his hobby.

4. Wood carving magazine subscription: Keep your grandpa updated with the latest trends and techniques in wood carving by subscribing him to a renowned wood carving magazine. This will provide him with inspiration, project ideas, tips, and tutorials from master woodcarvers around the world.

5. Wooden sculpture or personalized wood carving: Find a skilled local wood artist who can create a unique wooden sculpture or personalized wood carving specifically tailored to your grandpa's taste and interests. It could be a detailed carving of his favorite animal, an intricate pattern, or even a portrait. This gift would not only be a beautiful decorative piece but also a symbol of his artistic passion.

6. Wood carving workshop or class: Consider enrolling your grandpa in a professional wood carving workshop or class. This will provide him with an opportunity to enhance his skills, learn new techniques, and engage with like-minded woodcarving enthusiasts. Gifting him an experience will not only fulfill his passion but also create fond memories.

7. Wood carving club membership: Help your grandpa connect with other woodcarvers by gifting him a membership to a local wood carving club or association. This way, he can participate in regular meetings, workshops, demonstrations, and exhibitions, which will provide him with a platform to share his passion, learn from others, and showcase his talent.

Remember, the most important aspect of any gift is the thought and love behind it. By choosing a gift that aligns with your grandpa's passion for wood carving, you are not only acknowledging his interests but also encouraging him to continue pursuing his creative outlet for years to come.

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.
