That would be great. Haven't seen any guides on whittling the beautiful little wren either? If you don't know it, I can highly recommend an old book called "Whittling and woodcarving" by E. J. Tangermann. It's a treasure of knowledge. I found it as an interlibrary loan, and I keep on renewing it. Luckily, noone else seems to make reservations for this old gem.

It's way cool how you get so much personality out in these little birds. I really like about whittling how, with some trial and error, perseverance and applied creativity, you can, by taking away small chips of a humble branch, bit by bit, create something beautiful, funny or useful.
So, what should have been a finger ring, became a wooden pearl for a lanyard instead. [ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ]

Those scales are actually quite well camouflaged, amIright? I thought I'd better put a colorful lanyard on it soon enough. As not to loose it outside. [ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ]
Nice. How do you like it? And can you recommend that other one? It looks lovely. I love old books on whittling, or, to be fair, on any good old crafts to be honest.
No doubt.I’m pretty convinced that camo knives are a plot by the marketing departments. We drop them in the woods and can’t find them, and then have to buy replacements.
