What have you been whittling with your traditionals?

I've done a little thumb whittling myself a time or two.

Welcome to the club !

Last night I got energetic. Think I’ll give this one to an aunt.

Been getting back in shape for whittling since I broke my wrist last fall. All healed up, but still some residual stiffness in my fingers I'm working out. This was the first thing I've finished since then.

Also wow, thanks for sharing that. I hope you get back to 100% fast.

Whittled as a gift for Bill. 38 whittler only. Just because I don't doesn't mean I can't.

That’s awesome, thank you for sharing. I’ve never done a captive ball but I’m wanting too.

I didn’t whittle this completely, but I did whittle the opening.

Here’s a little piece of offal with a knot that I thought would look nice with a cross atop it.

I have been whittling little chew toys for my pet rats. I made a little treasure chest, a fish, just little crude toys. They whittle them away with their teeth faster than I can make them lol

All I can say is...Wow, we have some talented people of this site. Only in my dreams!

I made a wooden utensil for my wifey the other day (not whittled). But the offal was pretty close and I though might as well make a few Christmas ornaments. This is cherry, and the hardest most seasoned piece I ever worked I might add. The completed spoon has paste wax on it.

I thought it’d look cool to have a chipped surface so I did that all over even though I didn’t hew the whole thing with hand tools.

I didn’t get to where I’m at in a day. And I’m not at the level of Jiki and others yet. But you learn in a progression. All ya got to do is start at it. I’ve whittled many a sharp stick in my day; I think we all have.
