More carvingmania from the early 1980s. These were going to be bolo tie slides. #whittling #archaeology

one of my partner's favourite neighborhood trees, a California buckeye, was cut down a month or so ago and I wanted to make her a little fetish out of the salvaged wood to memorialize it. buckeye, it turns out, is very fibrous and hard to work with, but I am pretty happy with this jackrabbit.

Yeah, I went through a wood carving phase. #whittling

Miniature weapons anybody? #FolkArt #Whittling

A whittle TARDIS.

The hard part of something like this is pushing through to a final product even if I'm a little unhappy with it instead of just immediately giving up as soon as I fuck up.

Birch wood spirit. Branch was a bit dry and tough, and I've been out of action so my hands are feeling weaker than they were when I was doing one of these a day, but it came out really nice.

reminder I like to make little wooden stuff, because I live in a forest surrounded by trees

I'm looking for someone who whittles (edit: or does wood carving, apparently they're different things!) I'd like to buy a small figurine of a sleeping bear, from within EU. I'm having trouble finding someone who *makes* that kind of thing on Etsy, and doesn't just sell it. So, anybody know anybody? #DanskerTrut #whittling #woodworking

Every morning, I've been gradually working on a walking stick. It's the first I've ever made, so it's been great practice.

I just finished the wood burning, and now I am going to try leather wrapping the handle (another thing I've never done before).

Question, is this starting to look like a river otter?

I am trying to whittle a gift, but I underestimated how difficult it would be to make an otter look at all like an otter

I told myself I was going to write this morning…and instead I somehow ended up whittling my first spoon.

Whittled a gnome today, because why not. It’s not perfect, but whittling it was sure relaxing.
