Slightly off topic; does anyone belong to a whittling or woodcarving club?
I'm thinking of joining the local one to meet some other carvers and maybe pick up some tips.

Sounds like a great idea. I didn't know about the Michigan Wood Carvers Ass'n until I googled just now.

I think the one near me is free to join now. They meet at the local senior center so I may be the young pup of the group. If so I'll be ready to learn from the decades of experience around me.

Checking out a whittling/carving club sounds like a great idea, Neko2. I'd love to hear about your experience there if you check it out.

I'm a fan of learning anything from someone with decades of experience. Doubly so for "the old ways" of doing things.

I've been slowly making progress on the knife holder guy: he can now cradle a knife in both of his arms. Meanwhile, over the weekend I started a little three-link chain. Tonight I finished carving out the second channel of the intermediate "plus" shape.

Looking good Greg ! What kind of wood is it ?

 

[WhittlinAway]

Thanks skyhorse. Both are basswood. The piece I used for the little guy seems to be a bit darker and denser than most I've used.

What caliber?

Still rough and needs some cleaning up

Wow, you guys have some serious skills. This thread is really inspirational. I'm glad I noticed your figurine carving tutorial in your sig, Mateo. Keep those progress pics coming :thumbup:

I haven't whittled anything in 15-20 years. Recently got back into knives over the past few years and very recently traditionals, which has resparked my boyhood love for wood carving.

I randomly decided to sit down and whittle away at a woodchip at the dog park the other day. Was just going for a nice spike with a handle but the handle was too short, so I spiked out the other side too.





I'm definitely going to try something like the OP's wood carved knives but probably a bit bigger at first. Dog park wood chips seem to be the perfect starting material for those, and they're plentiful and free

I've been busier then I'd like lately but it was really nice catching up. Outstanding posts by everyone:thumbup: I had about an hour to do a little whittling this morning and continued on with Mateo's tutorial. Here's the project so far-

Jimbo here reporting live from the dog park. Fall weather means fresh deliveries of chips again. Good score here. I have an idea in my head to carve some custom scales for a Benchmade grip out of coco bolo and will prototype with this

Kinda what I was thinking WK. Out of curiosity does/would anyone use a file on their carving if it was part of the blade compliment on your knife?
Thanks, Neal
