Already guilty of this :)
I'm not very good at it, but I've made a few walking sticks whilst sitting around outside in the summer.
Count me in!
Four days ago I received the Little Book and now I m bugged from the corkscrew on my tinker since it s much worst than the philips, so I m ready to order a Hiker as well!
Great idea, i had thought about taking this up before but never tried.not a problem at all. :tu: Though the big lesson from the vid is; try not to saw the top of your thumb. :D

I've done a few pieces from the little book and, like Nuphoria, made my own SAK for the purpose.

Wood Ambassador (scissors left uncut) carved with SAK. The green ComTek a separate project entire.
I;ve started doing a bit of whittling too,but I'm using a Rough Rider Whittler to do it

I need the hook shaped blade to do bowls/spoons unless there is another technique for that?
Gareth, sound for that.
By the way is that a Hiker in the pic with the blade layer and keyring removed?
I've used a modified MFV blade to carve spoon bowls...sharpened further up around the tip to the centerline.
I a very interested in starting to whittle. Can anyone describe or share a link of how to mod the small blade into a Wharnecliffe. Will I be shortening it for the new shape?
What is the advantage of the Wharnecliffe over the sheeps foot blade found on my electrician?

If you go to the link to the book in my first post, then click "Look Inside" you can read the pages in the book where he says how and why to change that blade into a Wharnecliffe shape.QuoteWhat is the advantage of the Wharnecliffe over the sheeps foot blade found on my electrician?
The Wharnecliffe's sharper point will probably make it easier to cut around corners and in tight spots. The sheepsfoot might do OK though. I'd certainly try that out before grinding it down, as a Wharnecliffe blade is not as tough. If you're going to file or grind a blade down, I wouldn't do the Electrician's.
Basically, all you're going to do is to file it mostly flat on the cutting edge; remove the belly. Then, touch up the spine of the blade a bit until it comes to a sharp tip.
I looked through the book but couldn't find anything. Is there a page number?
...All going well, then.......my super tinker bit me......and I'm still bleeding now :oops:

I've been reading this thread, which I really shouldn't have. All of you are evil :twak: ! :D I just ordered the book from Amazon, and the local Target has Recruits in stock. Another excuse for a new SAK......
I call it the pseudo-spoon, which was made entirely with the BHK patch-knife shown.
After that I switched to using the SAK and mainly made (poorly ::)) little animals out of balsa.
I looked through the book but couldn't find anything. Is there a page number?
It wasn't the book I thought. It is on Pg. 2 of Whittling Twigs and Branches (http://www.amazon.com/dp/1565232364/ref=rdr_ext_sb_ti_hist_2), which is available in the free sample.
Sorry for the bad reference.
Thisjk38: I think it would work well. But it'd be a bit of a shame to take the file to a collectible knife. (I don't think those are produced any more, right?)
Also, the grid pattern on the Alox might get abrasive to your hand after a while. Especially when you're in the material removal phase of a project.

Yikes, sorry to hear that, Jon.
A tip in one of the books is to wear a glove in the hand that holds the workpiece, and at least wrap the thumb of the carving hand in some duct tape. First layer goes inside out, so you don't end up with the tape glue on your thumb. Next layer goes sticky side down.
Well better luck tomorrow.
This thread just reminded me I always wanted to carve the chain out of a hunk of wood, where the links are connected and free moving, all from one piece of wood. My grandparents had a long one hanging in their cabin, I always wanted to figure out how to make one.
What kind of wood is best for beginners?
I am currenty whittling with the small blade (unmodified) on the Spartan and i want to have a woodsaw and get rid of the corkscrew bugging :P
So I am between a hiker and a harvester (have a soft spot for the alox SAKs) do you think that I will be able to get the pruning blade modded as easily as the small blade?Yes.
Which of the 2 do you think is the best choice?(edited) That's a tough call. The Harvester has the smooth backsprings, which is a real plus, and the inline awl, which is better. But I feel like the more textured scales may rub your hand raw during the stock removal periods of whittling.
I reckon something like pine is pretty good as its nice and soft.
Personally, I don't consider the electrician blade a good option for carving...although it could be used. I has the single-sided grind like a gardener...unlike the pruning blade which has a thinner symmetrical grind like a pen blade.
You won't be able to "wharnecliffe" the pruning blade because the nail nick is too close to the end. There's not enough room to taper the spine down into a point. The best you'd be able to do is straighten the edge into a psuedo sheepsfoot.
The checkering on alox scales is not very aggressive. I don't experience problems with extended handling.
Hey Smaug do you have a pic of how your smelly blade came out?
A little larger and you can call it a Spurtle :D
I've worked at Scout Camps for 9 summers in total, and at camp I would always be whittling something. Always with a SAK.
I've done balls and chains, balls in cages, lots of spoons, forks, sporks and foons, I did a different decorative walking stick/staff every year, one with a ball in a cage on top of the staff.
Good times, sadly I never do any whittling here in the real world.
Awesome thread! I have been whittling with a modified Tinker for the past few months, and have had a blast! Here's a picture of a couple projects done 100% with the Tinker (the owl was done this afternoon after seeing the pattern on this thread!), along with a picture of the modified small blade on my tinker.
Lookin' good, gcconspiracy! What's the wood? It looks like Douglas Fir to me. A good choice. Straighter and less knotty and sappy than pine, but still soft enough to not be frustrating.
My problem is I am not very experienced when it comes to identifying trees which would be good wood for whittling. :think:

I whittled this eagle's head last night with my Tinker. It is out of some sort of bark I found on the beach, and I really did very little to it, mostly just worked with the natural shape of the piece.
I still wonder if he knew of the Pioneer SettlerWouldn't the Tinker be more comfortable to use for a long period? The more-rounded edges and especially the extra thickness might make a big difference.

Okay, here's a quick thought. I currently have a Tinker with a modified small blade for whittling, but I am wondering if this would not be a better option for EDC so I always have a whittling blade on me http://www.amazon.com/Victorinox-Swiss-Secretary-Pocket-Silver/dp/B0007QCO6U (http://www.amazon.com/Victorinox-Swiss-Secretary-Pocket-Silver/dp/B0007QCO6U)Victorinox ricruit
I realize that it might not be as comfortable as the Tinker due to the thinner body, but I am looking for a minimalist knife to keep with me at all times. I'll still have the Tinker at home, and always have my LM Wave on me, so I don't need the extra tools. Come to think of it, the only thing I'd really miss would be the tweezers and toothpick (darn, I hadn't thought of that! I really like having that toothpick around!).
Any other options similar (but possibly with tootpick)?
The Secretary is very thin, I use mine only when I have to pretend I'm civilized. My Pocket Pal knives see much more use, simply because I think they're more comfortable in the hand. (Secretary is only 5 mm thick, vs 9 mm for the Pocket Pal.)

I had looked at the recruit, but am not sure if I would gain much going from a tinker to a recruit... They are both 2 layer celidors. Would going from a 91mm knife to an 84mm knife make a real noticeable difference?
Gccomspiracy: you should read the rest of the thread. A lot has already been said on the recruit.
Impressive photo!
What exactly is the SAK we are looking at ? ;)
nice! sounds very interesting possibility!
Although I havent managed to find Wenger S111 on amazon.de or co.uk ??
Is it available in Europe?
Hello all! I'm new to whittling, and I was looking for a good SAK that I can whittle with. I got it down to two so far: the Farmer or the Hiker. Is a second blade really necessary? Because that 93mm awl is looking pretty useful at the moment :P
Im whittling slingshots everyday. I use SAKs, Opinels, Mora Knives, Stockmen
Whatever is sharp.
Im on my 4th since winter. Its slow going as all I am using is hand tools and sandpaper
:tu:
What do you use for the bands? Surgical tubing, proper slingshot bands, or ??
Also, what are your targets? Just plinking around?
I'm on the lookout for natural forks now. Might have to break out the Hiker one day soon.
Nice natural forks mate :tu:

I llike primitave things. It is a connection to the past. I prefer rifles that are single shot or bolt action also.
My Uncle had a special kit to build these (pocketknife, small saw, manual drill. rubbers, string and leathers)...he and my Dad used their slingshots to feed their family in 1940's Oklahoma. I always had one growing up. Still a few of my Uncle's forks around here.

Here's an unused one that my Uncle made my Dad...
Finished my first slingshot today.
I cut the fork a few weeks ago, and ordered the bands from a Hong Kong seller, which arrived last week.
Today, I cut the notches in the fork "tines" and attached the band. First, I tried tying the backs of them on with string. But the band came off about every shot that way. (The first pix show this setup)
Then, I decided to just drill holes through the tines, run the bands through, and wedge them in place with two whittled sections of branch. That seemed to work great, but I need to do some performance testing yet.
I did the whole project just with the Soldier. The whittling parts weren't easy, thanks to the serrations and the chisel grind...

We figure we'll take our slingshots and a pocketful of stones into the woods and harass the squirrels. Don't worry, they'll be perfectly safe. ;)

2) Anyone aware of the legality of sawing off a small branch or twig from a tree in a woodland or even from a tree on the side of the street (in the UK)? There are a few different woods I want to try out and I think I've spotted a few on local streets. Obviously I don't want to break the law or damage anything in a woodland reserve, but does anyone have any tips with this? Should you stick to fallen branches and dead wood?
Thanks!
In the UK even fallen wood is the property of the land owner and to take it is theft. In the countryside that will usually be either private land owners or the Forestry Commission; in urban streets likely the local council. You might take the view that no-one is going to get too upset over someone picking up a single fallen branch. But to cut a branch from a living tree that is owned by someone else will surely be considered criminal damage or theft.
In past centuries, we had ancient rights to gather firewood on common land, but those rights have been removed for good reason. The decay of dead wood is an essential part of the ecosystem, and if you had millions of people hoovering it all up for their fashionable log-burning stoves it would be bad for the health of the woodland.
No one is going to complain if you take a stick that's already fallen - otherwise how do us ramblers get our walking sticks?

No experience with that one but no reason it shouldn't work depending on how far the cutting edge extends. Actually you can use just about any knife...a rounded point reduces the chance of the tip gouging the wood where you don't want it to. Most of the work is done at the curve right behind the tip, a spear or drop point works best for me,
This is a Blind Horse Bushcrafter in action...
Well, a very (VERY) humble start to whittling for me today - went for a walk with my girlfriend and thought I would just give it a go with a piece of wood I found near the beach. This is my first ever attempt at whittling anything and I ended up with (i think?!) a dog's head:Nice!

Apologies for the silly question! Has anyone ever tried sharpening the screwdriver end of the SAK can opener? I was thinking it might make a decent gouging tool for whittling? Is this even possible? Thanks!Yes! There's all sorts of sharpening you can do on the SAK tools. I have an 84mm Recruit that I sharpened the tools on especially for whittling. The Recruit has no back tools and so is very comfortable to use for any length of time.
Fantastic! Thanks magentus! I was considering trying it last night but thought it best to check here first.I just used the diamond edge of my DC4 stone to start with and finished with the finer side. SAK's are very forgiving - you could use a file to start and a stone to finish. I managed to get a razor edge on both tools, and the best bit is they will still function as intended if you're careful.
Did you sharpen those edges on a sharpening stone or did it need something else?

With more intricate whittling designs, I'm having trouble getting good thin clean cuts, even with a variety of good, sharp knives - there seems to be always splinters and jagged edges. Is this "normal"? Would it be best to leave that stuff for sanding/filing at the very end of the project?

Armchair "expert" comment here(I have no carving experience or musical instrument making abilities), but something with pitch holes would be an ambitious undertaking to get anything to sound right. You also need a hollow tube all the way through. A fixed pitch whistle "should" be an easier undertaking

Me too! This wand was carved from a magical component of an ancient shaggy juniper (i.e., dead tree limb) by a small in stature Master Craftsman (not me, I just provide the power). The absolutely necessary smooth surface was handled by the SAK files (subdivision of the X-files). The small nub on the side collects the Force from all over the universe and re-channels it to the wand.

With Magentus' very generous gift of a Mora crook knife, I'm looking to start carving a decorative/lovespoon for my girlfriend. I want it to be a surprise so finding the time/location to do so has so far proved very difficult, but I think I have some time tonight so I'll hopefully be making a start.
A question:
Any tips for a first-time spoon carver? I've found a variety of tips online but wondered what the hive mind of MTO could suggest!
I'm using a basswood blank, seems to be the best I've found for easy carving. I'm just planning on using the crook knife, various SAKs and Opinel No. 7.
Keep your blade sharp, your thumb out of harms way and have fun, show us the results :tu:
So I finally finished the lovespoon I was carving as a surprise gift to my girlfriend. I gave it to her on Monday just before asking her to marry me!Congratulations! :like: the spoon

Great work on carving a spoon and Congratulations! :hatsoff:
So I finally finished the lovespoon I was carving as a surprise gift to my girlfriend. I gave it to her on Monday just before asking her to marry me!

I originally got my Victorinox to Whittle with, but its too nice to use :)Perhaps, I'm oversimplifying or stereotyping but I've always thought of slip joints like Case or Schrade as whittling knives and SAKs as working/survival knives. 'Spose there's no reason you can't whittle with a SAK. Felix Immler does it all the time, I guess.
Wood Ambassador (scissors left uncut) carved with SAK. The green ComTek a separate project entire.This is so friggin cool
Here my addition to this club, not quite done yet. Need to work on the ball some more and sand it, but fun project so far. Even though it cost meI want to make one!
5 stitches, had the small ballads close on me....
I modified my hiker’s cap lifter into a gouge which worked extremely well. I used the hiker for about 80% of the job. Had to use a longer gouge for when I got pretty deep with the SAK. Also tried out he buck canoe for a while, it did really well. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180204/e5f2e8824858e4ae0a63443f0fb7efba.jpg)

She used to get all riled up when we started sanding something, out of habit. Trying to make us understand that if the material was properly planed then the surface was already smooth as the fibers were cut and when we started sanding we only made it worse by rubbing the fiber ends up.
Moral of the story, I guess, is that I -try- to cut like that now.

I still feel relaxed and feel how I've heard people who meditate say they feel. If I end up with something worth giving away in the ends, then it's a bonus!I definitely can appreciate the patience it takes, and the extra benefit is that is is very therapeutic and gets your mind off of everything else so that you can relax. And it is therapeutic for others that can appreciate what you do.
First off- thank you guys. I got a sharpening stone and more bandaids today ! so less bloody wood pieces :)I still feel relaxed and feel how I've heard people who meditate say they feel.

I have played music professionally for over 40 years and playing music does for me what whittling does for you.
It is great to be doing something you really love to do. It helps keep you healthy.
Vicman, I read somewhere that apparently after about 10 thousand hours of doing a particular task (ie paint, play the saxophone, craft) the brain activity measures the same way people in deep mediation do. I figure that out you play ie the piano for 40 years you easily qualify. So it'd be interesting to hear your take on it!

Hey, Stoneshank, can you talk us through the mods you've done to your Cadet and Electrician, please? With the Cadet it looks like you have combined 2 into one but with Recruit small blades instead of nail files?I'll make a attempt. First off, I try to get the tools to where I might have an idea that might work. So I'm it fishing while doing irreparable damage to the tools. This "Jesus take the wheel" approach has destroyed fewer tools that you might guess and I really can't tell if there is a better way to go about it. Once I find the "perfect way " then I might put some effort into polishing to make out look good and not like some train wreck
Can't see the detail of the Awl changes on the Electrician.
Cheers :)

I have seen several people complain about the Victorinox steel......you should try the Victorinox Pruner or Victorinox Day Packer. They both have steel that holds a better edge than standard Vic models. They are manufactured at higher RW.Thanks! I will definitely look into it! As long as it's Victorinox and folder I'm happy. Btw, do you know if this applies to all 100 mm? Like the gardener etc?
I sharpen BOTH sides of blades for better cutting. I whittle with them and they compare with many other brands with better RW hardness. You can also alter blade shapes if you wish.--Regards, Bryan
Sorry, but I don't know about other models. I first read that the two knives I mentioned had a different steel in the blades. However, I talked to a Vic expert and he told me that it was higher rockwell.Ok, can't find anything about it online

I honestly have no idea. I cut of branches from dead/fallen trees. This piece was from a young branch some neighbors dropped of in a "here, you throw this away". I've oiled the scales now and also torched them a bit to get some shade going. Wrong spam the thread with pictures though, figure I wait until the whole thing is done.

Testing out the 100mm rumored I harder steel, retentionwise, and I think it's true. Chisel grinds always become super sharp but this one also keeps an edge way longer than my other Victorinox knives so far.
Reshaped the blade to become shorter (4cm) as well as preferred wharncliffe(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180327/09931ec83dd3840cbf935e972280b855.jpg)

Just an exercise in trying to do the following (not my pic). Create patterns with what is easiest explained as the sided downward "pyramids
From the beginning the patterns just screw up any resemblance of pattern. I didn't do any markings to guide and I went in with a "Jesus take the wheel" attitude which didn't pan out. Further down the stick things start to look like ... "something".
Geometrically even figures isn't my strong suit, which is why I try to do this,
So past later. Have a great day!

WOW, TazzieRob! I kind of gave up on posting here as it felt like too few added content to warrant a thread of its own and here you choice and hit it out of the park!
I prefer that shape you got in the blade but I noticed on "proper" carving knives the tilt of the blade is "inwards"and not "outwards" (like yours and mine I made).

Adding a new reply as my first post disappeared due to app crashing :(
Anyways.. My reply came out a bit too aucthorian and teaching, which I didn't mean to.
I pondered the blade tilt reasoning and I guess it is that a inward tilt gives me control and strength earlier and I don't risk to slip and cut myself due to early slip. Added picture with lines and such(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180814/98a8bf67a33186daee69c73e926beeca.jpg)

Picture nr 3 is the mid part . It's meant to be a compass with a silk band in the background ( which disappeared in the noice).

I think it's a combination of the tail being too thick to start with and the wood. I just need to get some sticks and practice my feathers, too.
Great!! If only I was able to do an half of what you did! :like:

Sorry, Mini, thanks for the complement. I'm only starting, myself. Just have a go, if you are having a try at least you're doing it, and the more you do the better you can get. You also don't have to judge yourself on someone else's ability. My biggest tip though, make sure your knife is sharp, the second rooster was easier because I took the time to refine the edge more :salute:

Very nice! That one looks destined to be on a friendship staff! :hatsoff:

Wow, that bear and and the wood spirits looks amazing, I can't do those geometric ones that nice. I can recommend the 100 mm gardener ones, they are easy to reshape and they quite sure in hand. They are chisel ground though, both for goods and worse.
It's easy to get laser sharp and easy in general to hand sharpen in a pocket dc4 etc. Bad side is that it's a bit tricky to get full control at start - it's like playing football with a limp ish, but it is easy to get over and eventually it's to your advantage

Nice whittling there. I wonder how they would look with neon color highlighters...hummm.
So I was in Ollie’s today and just had to look at the new books they were selling. Low and behold, there was the Victorinox Swiss Army Knife Whittling Book for only $4.99 :sa:

Has anyone here ever done a friendship stick? Was wondering what the center piece diameter is.
Hi everyoneThat is a great job well done! :like:
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:Good movie, great free hand for sure! :like:
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

I think I've done enough with this little bear. I could give him some v-cuts for fur, but the wood grain kind of looks like fur anyway. I'm pretty happy as a first attempt

(gloves optional, but HIGHLY recommend for me)I couldn't agree more. I would be at the hospital probably if i didn't use them. :D
:SAKnight: I will have to seek guidance from a 'higher authority' about spending some money and joining in the fun whittling. She's asleep right now and if have fresh coffee ready for when she wakes I might stand a chance. If not, it will have to wait a bit, but I will join in with the SAK Whittling Club.
Most of the wood around here is mesquite, so I will have to start harvesting some pieces and leave them laying around the house. >:D
I just finished my whittling knife. :ahhhVery nice :tu:
i bought a recruit, i cut out the keyring ring, i cut the main blade to make it short and pointy and then i made some thick wooden scales to have better grip. I will let you know how it works

So I have started working on my first project. I have asked 'CINCHOME' (Commander in Charge, Home a.k.a. WIFE) if we had a brown sheet and a brown towel that was extra. Why? of course was the expected response and I had prepared for this mission. I explain how placing a towel over the bottom half of my chair with the excess material covering the floor at my feet could catch any lose flying pieces that might escape the towel on my lap. She of course agreed with this, as it would mean 'no mess on HER carpet'. So I did some whittling last night, just a bit to get started. I learned that I needed an apron. So today I was in the process of tying ...

when she came home. And of course I got the usual 'what are you doing now' quizzical look and verbal question. So I showed her and then had her take this photo...
(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4915/43970833070_ce87392799_z.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/29Zy1Ky)
while she was taking hold of the camera she made a comment "After watching you last night I was going to get you an apron. I guess I don't have to ask if you would like the one I saw today with flowers on it." :woohoo: No need for the flowery apron. Disaster averted.
My wife has just finished her PHD in Education, she graduates next month!Looking good so far...and a very thoughtful gift. :hatsoff:
Her favourite animal is the Echidna, so I thought I'd have a go at carving one as a graduation present.
I started out trying to do a drawing of the profiles on graph paper, then tried drawing it on to the block, then started cutting. The shape isn't quite what I drew, but hopefully it is turning out better than my attempted drawing!

I don't want the beak/snout too fine so it still has some strength

Looking good so far...and a very thoughtful gift. :hatsoff:
:iagree:
Here is the first whittling using the new knife. The new blade is really amazing, much better that the spear point one. I can cut more precisely and deep. It also feels really good in my hand.Wow!!!! Really really like this one. Great job…
:cheers: (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181106/9abfa5a4071e2b8076861b62e40c9721.jpg)
I actually own a pdf of a SAK Whittling book.
@Mods: Is it okay to share a link?

Its wonderful. I've whittled just a bit and man its time consuming and challenging. I watched some videos to learn and who would have thought there were some techniques :dunno:. I just thought it was folks sitting on the porch or stoop carving up wood into things.
Thats great...I knew she would like it! You did a great job on it! :cheers:
The longer I stay and look around here,
the more varied I find the posts that I've missed out on.
I think I've got all of Chris Lubkemann's
books. My daughter bought me the renamed Swiss Army Knife Whittling Book , which I think used to be called The Little Book Of Whittling.
We met him up in Pennsylvania, back in 2016.

It's winter here and my shed is unheated, I need to get a wood heater in there. I also think my wife wouldn't approve of me making a mess inside the house!
How about something like this...
Lots of places sell Carver's or Whittlers aprons, but one shouldn't be too hard to make.Well thats a nice one! Any other information on it? Thanks! :cheers:
Carved this out of a birch log destined for the campfire this weekend. Used an axe to get rough shape, then the pioneer x and mora hook knife for the remainder. Might sand it later. Not perfect, but not bad for fire side carving.Thats not bad looking...I have done worse! :cheers:

See here what Felix Immler does with a SAK !!
Surely you know him ?? ....
Nice work, Charlie! And welcome to :MTO:
Here are a couple little projects done with the farmer and colored with Sharpie markers. Good fun!
:cheers:
I think I need to perfect my style. Maybe thin out the neck and legs.
Absolutely. He's referenced in this thread and elsewhere in other forum posts, too. :salute:
:-[ Sorry

Not quite sure what it is.
Partly with a Huntsman, partly with a three blade traditional whittler

This is beautiful, my friend. I love how smooth you made all the curves look. Good work.
Many thanks. The wood helps, I use freshly cut greenwood, probably more sycamore than anything else, it cuts very smoothly. I think the bird, my first attempt, is sycamore or it could be mountain ash, I really can’t remember. I normally do small spoons for spice jars, with very hit and miss outcomes or ‘rustic charm’ depending on your opinion. I also like fruit tree wood, silver birch and olive. Less keen on oak or beech.
I often read references to basswood. Never heard of it and hadn’t a clue what it was until I Googled and discovered we call it lime. I‘ll have to give it a go.
Hi all, been a while.
I came across this guy Brian from the YT channel Carving Is Fun. Lots of folks were sharing their attempts at his Fox tutorial on Reddit

Thanks, although with a big head, thick neck and small body. Just went with the flow of the wood.:like:
Never used to see herons, but over the last years have begun to see loads and loads of them on the Thames even as it runs through dense urban stretches of London. Healthier waters? Impressive looking birds and amazing that they can stand motionless for so long.
Thanks all!very nice, you guys are really talented :tu:
Gave his tail a little swoopy detail, don't want to go too thin on stuff as it's balsa
