Not quite sure what it is.

Partly with a Huntsman, partly with a three blade traditional whittler

You can take more wood off, but you can't put it back! Still, it is representative of what it is, I can see what SirVicaLot sees

We are in the middle of the Nessmuk Challenge, and I decided to give SAK whittling a try.  It's something I have always wanted to do, but never did get around to.  I promised Mrs. a handcraft bear for the longest time, and luckily I am closer to done and no serious misbehaves messing the whole thing up.  Thanks Tazz for his kind suggestion, and I am posting some of the progress pix here to share.







While I was doing research on what youtube tutorial to follow, I was lucky to have found the same Doug Linker video posted by Tazz earlier.  That was really a wonderful video, though I didn't follow his instruction exactly and wanted a really chubby "chibi" bear, his video did give me a really solid leg up and all credits go to him.

One challenge I found in whittling the bear is the inconsistency of the wood.  I am using basswood for this project since it is well known to be easy to carve and probably friendlier to some novice like me.  But it is rather curious that one side of the wood seems normal, while the other side is totally flaky and almost as if it was like loosely compressed wood.

I think for future projects, I am planning to mod a 2 layers SAK just for whittling purpose.  The small blade works wonder, but I would imagine I'd have a much easier time if the blade is narrower.  Also, I have seen many youtubers modding their flathead and can opener into spoon carving tools.  That'd be a interesting mod too if I make a designated whittling SAK.

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.

The wood you use sounds quite easy to whittle. I tried basswood once and it was very difficult to cut. I'm not sure if all basswood is very hard, or if it was just the piece I had.

I haven't carved bass wood, but from what I've heard, there is variability in the grain, maybe it's between heart wood and sap wood. I have carved balsa, and that can vary in hardness too. Green fruit Woods seem to be the preferred choice for spoon carvers

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



Might be some inspiration for some of you
