The Whittling Starter Kit GAW II — Winner Chosen — See Post #44

Great giveaway! I'm in! Love knives, and would love to try whittling. I've done some stone cutting and lettering, which I think would help. Thanks!
 
I'm in! I have been looking forward to taking whittling beyond the first set of small spoons I made. Other than knives, I enjoy fountain pens.
 
Less than 48 hours to go. Giving this a bump for the benefit of anyone who missed the thread last week but would still like to enter.

Thanks to everyone who has participated so far. I've appreciated the kind words and enjoyed reading about the variety of pastimes that folks here on the porch enjoy.
 
Good morning everyone. It's time to pick the winner!

The random number generator has been consulted and the winner is.... post #21. Congratulations sticktodrum sticktodrum ! I'll send you a PM to request your glove size and mailing address.

Thanks to everyone who entered. I enjoyed reading about how people like to spend their time when they're not hanging out here.
 
Congrats Stick!

I think this has the makings for a nice thread.
Once you get your stuff in hand and start cutting, start a thread showing your first finished piece, and then as you do them, upload them to document your growth in skill.
Let us know what gives you trouble, what helped the most, little tips and things you picked up along the way.

I know all of this might be found in books, but it would be nice to see the growth occur in front of us, and I am sure you might like to look back on it too.
 
Nice Greg. And congrats stick!

Congratulations, sticktodrum! :cool::cool: Maybe you can start by "decorating" some of your drumsticks, or even whittling your own?!

Splendid GAW, Greg! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Oh my God! Thank you! I never win things!

Thank you so much for a generous giveaway! I'll respond to the PM and will indeed document my whittling journey.

A drumstick sounds pretty good, or maybe if I'm good enough, a small drum set figure. :) For pun's sake, my ultimate goal for now is a nice boot made of Bubinga...a Bootbinga.

Yay! Happy Wednesday! It's comic book day, and whittling Wednesday for me!
 
Hearty congratulations Sticktodrum!
Can't wait to see what you do to some poor innocent wood.
