Just made a sheath for my Morakniv 120 whittling knife. It’s all wobbly and wonky but I’m so proud!

Another beardy wood spirit out of the small pile of cherry that I found on the railway path. I got this one done while the earlier one is drying out enough to sand and detail.

Because some of you liked my last posts with my work in progress (naturally I haven't finished these, but started to work on an octopus jewellery dish 🙄 because you can't have enough UFO's in your life 😅) I show you my Kirschvogel. Kirsche means Cherry in German, Vogel = Bird. I had something swallow- or sparrowlike in my mind while I worked on it, but my dear family calls it "Die Ente!" (this duck!) 🤪, because the beak looks very wide when you look from above at the thingie. But I designed it to look at it from the side. I made it for myself and it now sits on a raised place on my desktop, so that I look directly at it and can just be happy about my small bird.
I saw something like this (bigger, shinier, better) on Pinterest last year and tried to make it in a smaller scale. It's a Holder for pens - or respectively my fountain pen of choice. The pen of your choice should resemble the tail feather. As you can see, a lip stick has also a perfect place here.
As funny as this is: The cherry wood I used is selled as neatly in smooth rectangles sowed smoker wood for BBQs. Nice for litte projects and much cheaper than wood which is explicitly sold for whittling. But it's seasoned and really hard wood - which gave me some problems in the beginning - until I switched to soak it before working on it.

@rebeccabanner For reference, the traditional name for that style of carving is a "barley twist", and tutorials abound for it in the usual places.
Other common whittling challenges are wooden chains and balls in cages.
It's always great to see people picking up #whittling . If you would be so kind as to begrudge me giving unsolicited advice; please wear cut resistant gloves. Blood makes a terrible wood finish and if your knives are properly sharp they can injure you badly.
Had a lovely afternoon with nice visitor and could do something while we talked. Here are some pics in progress: I played a little bit with fire 🔥 to smooth out the surface of this small jewellery dish I'm making. I always have problems with the surface after using my gouges. Working with sandpaper for too long hurts too much in my wrists. So I had the idea to use fire - it worked out great. Will do some sanding and then give it a polish with my homemade wood butter.
The other picture is showing a little spoon blanket I made today - out of a bit of cherry wood. It's relatively hard wood, before working on it, I always need to soak it for a few minutes in water. Maybe that's really bad for wood? I haven't seen other persons doing this (but maybe they mostly use green wood for whittling?). I tried it at other small objects and the wood didn't splinter or went grey. The outcome was really nice and I could work out a very thin rim. You can see this in the little kitchen chute I made, have a look in this recipe article for a cookie spice (scroll down to have a better look at it):

Also in the picture is the axe/hatchett I got for christmas. Used it for the first time. I like her weight, but the handle is a little bit to thick for my hands. As you can see, she is two faced and has an adze (Runddechsel) for bowls or (bigger than my actual one) spoons. Still searching for a name for her.

I’m finally carving something abstract-ish and it makes my heart so happy. Pictures shall follow when the rough cutting is done.
Now I want to do a bit of writing and then I’m done for the day.
Roughly whittled a little goddess. I guess I will have a desk full of little carvings soon and it makes me so happy!

New adventure in whittling: a mushroom. Only carved it with the big knife so far, may go back in with a detailer knife to make it a bit smoother.
#whittling #woodcarving #crafts
I’ve started experimenting with #whittling #WoodCarving. This is my second attempt. Basic yet very satisfying.
My #whittling adventures continue. The trunk is still too big, and I want the side to not look so pristine, so I’ll whittle away at that as well. For the rest I’m happy and proud of my very first project 😊
I have a new hobby: wood carving or whittling. I’m working on my first project, not the wizard the package I bought was intended to be.
There were three blocks of basswood in the box so I decided to practice with making my favourite animal: an elephant.
It needs a lot of work still, as you can maybe tell I’m working on the trunk, but I wanted to show her off anyway.

#introduction post, learning how it all works!
I am a migration from mainly reddit, as I loved to use Apollo. Big fan of building anything I can, #gunpla, #miniatures, #wh40k, #warhammer, and whole lot more. I am up to hear any tips and tricks on being able to add more things to my feed, and learning about pretty much anything.
I am going to add some more tags to see if that helps!

I got another face out of the sycamore branch today, just a little one but some good bits on him. The eyes turned out nice.

Just finished this sycamore wood spirit while the kid napped this afternoon. Usual gormless business but this one is quite nice and soft faced.

Nice lump of sycamore for a few forehead (fivehead?) details.
