Whittlers and Wood Carvers

Corkey · 01-20-2010, 04:02 PM

Well I got my order in today, and man I got started like lickety split.
I'm going to give a running commentary, to hopefully interest others who have entirely too much time on their hands, to get a hobby too.
I'm starting with a boot, a simple cowboy boot for my whittling project.
The basic forms come in blocks, with instructions on how to with photos along the length of the project.
The basics are glove, sharp knife, apron to catch the chaff and patience.
OOOoooo another lesson in patience for me, Yeaaaaa!

Can't wait to hear about your progress. I've never tried woodcarving, but I do find it interesting. Will you be posting pics of your creations?

Corkey · 01-20-2010, 04:07 PM

Sure will!

Yes I love wood carving and anything that you can do with wood. I carved a piece of pine into a back plate for my old truck, with 2 wolves running and TIMBERWOLF in the middle. I carved it with a dremel(I love working with it) and then painted it. In fact I just got a new one and waiting to start again. I also started 2 peace pipes for my dad.the first one I used oak from my tree and that was hard. the next one i started with a 2x2 piece of pine and that turned out better. I want to start working on it again.My Uncle (who has passed) was a wonderful carver and my oldest brother followed with carving birds.
looking forward to seeing some of your work .

Cool, Timber and thanks for stopping by. Could you share some of your experiences with different woods? Currently I'm using basswood, and I used pine laminate for the Eagle I did for Ami, that was wood burnt.
