The most important thing you can do is keep him engaged! Do fun things. If he hasn't got a pocket knife yet, he'll need one. 10yo is plenty old enough, as long as you teach him knife safety.
When he's got a knife, teach him to whittle. I bought The Little Book Of Whittling for my son and it kept him entertained for hours at a time. The book recommends good knives for kids, IIRC, so maybe get the book first if he doesn't have a knife yet.
So.....now, some projects that will keep him engaged.
I started out with those knives (am still using them) and this book, which I found helpful because I didn't know where to start and it went through the very basics.
