Whittling, a love letter
Where I talk about the art of wood carving, one of my favourite creative acts

More carvingmania from the early 1980s. These were going to be bolo tie slides. #whittling #archaeology
A whittle TARDIS.
The hard part of something like this is pushing through to a final product even if I'm a little unhappy with it instead of just immediately giving up as soon as I fuck up.
Birch wood spirit. Branch was a bit dry and tough, and I've been out of action so my hands are feeling weaker than they were when I was doing one of these a day, but it came out really nice.

I'm looking for someone who whittles (edit: or does wood carving, apparently they're different things!) I'd like to buy a small figurine of a sleeping bear, from within EU. I'm having trouble finding someone who *makes* that kind of thing on Etsy, and doesn't just sell it. So, anybody know anybody? #DanskerTrut #whittling #woodworking

Small wooden figure from thuja wood, finished with walnut oil.
Every morning, I've been gradually working on a walking stick. It's the first I've ever made, so it's been great practice.
I just finished the wood burning, and now I am going to try leather wrapping the handle (another thing I've never done before).
It’s not perfect, but thanks to everyone’s advice, it did end up looking more like a river otter!
I used a light stain instead of a paint so you can still see the wood grain.
Question, is this starting to look like a river otter? 
I am trying to whittle a gift, but I underestimated how difficult it would be to make an otter look at all like an otter

Over the bank holiday I had a sale out of the blue and had to rummage for hours to find this blackthorn spirit, then clean up and re-oil back to a respectable state. I always liked this one, cracks and all.

Lately, I've been carving quite a bit. I usually start without a specific plan, and the pieces take shape in their own way as the process unfolds. The piece shown in the photos symbolizes the layers of different generations, eventually buried in the earth and decomposed by fungi, becoming part of the cycle of new life.

Not done one of these for a long time due to lots of reasons, but this has turned out mostly okay.

@Maker_of_Things @makershour Hi, I'm Shermin from Berlin, Germany. I'm into hobby hopping. 
I do #whittling, #sewing, #pottery, #spinning, #aquarell, #quilting (EPP) - these are the ones I do most at the moment. If I have time and energy. 
In the last time I'm trying to do food miniatures with polymer clay. This is my first try at a cake, after I saw some awesome reel of something like this on Instagram. I also have some cookies and donuts in the making - but haven't found time to finish them. (Sorry for the bad light, it's nearly 10 pm here.)
I told myself I was going to write this morning…and instead I somehow ended up whittling my first spoon.
