Has anyone here ever done a friendship stick? Was wondering what the center piece diameter is.

Haha thanks. I like those African animals. They could be described as a tad "fat" which makes them fun to make. The baby versions of them also makes people less afraid of someone sitting with a tool such as a knife where other people are around. Also, ofc, very popular amongst kids which makes their parents less protective and prone to over reacting when they see a knife. People can react so silly when they see a 1cm long knifeblade

That would depend on the size of the friendship, wouldn't it?...

Hi everyone
Here is my first attempt to create something :)
It was a lot of fun fun was really hard to cut the wood. I used a small block of basswood, but, looking at the clips online, mine seemed MUCH harder. Especially when going parallel to the fibers it was almost impossible to stick the knife in the wood. SOmetimes i had to put it on my table to push harder. Do you think there could be a reason? I used a block that i cut from a bigger block and even cut it from there was a pain in the butt using a small hand saw... Maybe there are different kinds of basswood (mine was for contruction, not for "arts").I used a brand new tinker, stropping it also from time to time.
I saw people do a model like that in 20-30 min. It took me like 2 hours, because it was difficult to remove big portions one tiny bit the time. Tomorrow i will go searching for a different block. I hope to not have tendinitis tomorrow due to the efforts :D
Cheers  :cheers:

Thank you everyone.
Today I whittled a small elephant I realized how important is to follow the fibers of the wood. Still some parts were hard like stone and other soft like butter. I am now going to another shop to check for other wood, maybe I am luckier this time.
Also I definitely need to learn how to sharp properly my knives. I mean they cut paper like air, but still I can’t make the razor sharp, I guess that’s not helping.
Cheers :)

Great job, your little person looks awesome, despite your problems.
I think you've identified the two key problems. Make sure your edge is very sharp, and also you might need to make it more acute than the factory edge. When cutting straight across the grain, rock the edge or even slice a little will help to cut. If you don't need a cut perfectly perpendicular to the grain then a v cut will be easier than a stop cut.
Depending on which part of the tree your wood came from, there can be harder and softer sections. These might show as changes in colour along the grain or even texture. I'm not familiar with basswood though.
Please show us your elephant  :tu:

Thank you, these tips are actually really helpful. :cheers:

The elephant is a gift for my gf, when i see her, if she likes it, I will post a pic
Yesterday in the meanwhile I tried to go “free hand” and I did this 47 from “hitman”. That’s pine and not basswood. I didn’t notice much of a difference. It just seemed to have more knots. I still have to understand a lot of things, as you can see
:cheers:
