This is what I am working on right now.
I received some new tools for my birthday, so I can do more detailed work. Hope you enjoy. http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/x...7/DSC_0035.jpg

nice corkey!
my grandpa taught me to whittle... i loved sitting under the tree with him... he always made me push away from my hands... and when he wasnt looking i would always revert to the way he whittled... pulling the knife toward me... i love to carve... or just whittle... i tend to make toothpicks... out of huge pcs of wood... sometimes i will make this little graduated tower design... you mentioned arthritis... not my affliction but i do have a problem with my right hand... i am teaching myself how to do everything ( .gif "Say What?") ) left handed... maybe i will pick up a knife again... see what i can do...thanks for this thread... it has allowed me to look back at something that i miss... fondly... keep us posted... i love wood... it calls to me in lots of different ways... |

Way cool about your Grandpa. Mine did the same, but I have better control of the knife by rolling my knuckles and making a fist. I have the chisels to do the plank carvings. You are going to have a time of it finding a left handed knife, but you can try here : http://www.woodcarvers.com/ They have a large selection of tools. I hope you can get back to it.

Wood Working
I enjoy wood working. I make peace pipes, staffs, walking sticks, canes, paddles,alters, etc. I also work with animal bones, antlers, horns, hoofs, etc. I also enjoy finding and working with old furniture and furniture pieces and creating something new. I enjoy carving when I find a piece of wood that speaks to me.
I have arthritis so it takes longer to do the work, but it also keeps my hands strong. I don't like purchasing wood from suppliers unless I have to. My best work has been from wood I have found on camping or hiking trips or pieces that friends have found and have given to me.

Welcome to the Planet Felix, I hear ya' on the arthritis. The wood we have here really isn't suitable for carving, cotton woods, and we aren't allowed to take any wood out of the parks here. Not many pines here.
