Whittling

I think it’s made with walnut and finished with walnut oil. Started with a blank I bought from flexcut

My first attempt at making a wooden cup. Only holds about 20 ml but is still functional.

I'm new to whittling and these are the first things I completed that don't look like trash.

I followed one of those "make a fox" youtube guides for the first one.

Awesome video by Doug linker on how to make custom blade covers. Probably going to be my next smaller project as right now I have styrofoam on a bunch of nice fixed blades. Pretty janky and not very safe.

Will report back on how it works out

Also Doug Linker is awesome and his vids are great for beginners

I live in a big city and can’t exactly snap a branch of a random tree or real pick up random sticks from people’s backyards without getting some looks.

I’ve ordered off Amazon and Etsy in the past for basswood and walnut that was not bad.

Im just curious where other people get resources?

First 3 whittles. No cuts! Followed linkers cube star video then went on to try 5 minute wizard

I have bought a shit ton of random knives (Helvie, drake, GEC, flexcut, morakniv etc) based on recos from subreddits and youtube videos and I have to say despite how cool they are, I think my favorite go tos are a Victorinox tinker that I redid the edge on and a Remington whittler I bought on eBay because the price was right.

I’m going to keep posting random shit I’ve made until we gain some momentum. Feed back welcome. I’m not very good at this and mostly just imitate other things I see online while working on technique.

Here’s some other stuff I made

I was part of r/whittling before rexxit and it was my one of my favorite places to browse. I didn’t see anything comparable to that on Lemmy yet so I decided to take a stab at making the first.
