Whittlers and Wood Carvers

Corkey · 01-16-2010, 06:58 PM

I just ordered my chisels and knife and can't wait to get started. With my arthritis it is going to be a challenge. Yet I live for challenges. I recently got back into wood burning, and gave my creation to Ami as a gift.
I hope to sell some of my art on the site, but it's going to be awhile before I can get some things together to do so.
Look forward to hear if there are others out there like me who find wood a fulfilling medium to work in. Ooooo emotocon plz? Yes????

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?

Sure will!
