My God that is like something out of Dante's Inferno.
Well done.

Yeah cmon show me your whittlin projects since mines meh

>>631240
What set is that? What's your opinion on them?

>>634240
I'm pretty sure I have that exact work bench. Also, how do I into whittling? Those spoons look great.

>>631228
How do I into babby's first whittle?

>>631856

Let's be honest, this shit is as bad, if not much much worse, than building cairns.

>>636474
1. get knife
2. get stick
3. apply knife to stick
4. ????
5. profit

>>634550
Mainly the knife but i used a shitty chisel i found to hollow out the bowls.

>>636464
Yeah you more than likely do. I just bought some untreated pine from the hardware store in the size i wanted and pretty much started hacking out the bowl with a ordinary chisel until i had it deep enough.
The rest is just patiently hacking away at the wood until it resembles a spoon.
The knife i use is a Bahco but I'm pretty sure its just a rebranded Mora. It works fine. You just need something with a relatively thin blade to start.

Im glad you like my spoons. I have never been a creative person so i am happy to be able to make something that is at the least useful.

>>636634
>I have never been a creative person so i am happy to be able to make something that is at the least useful.
Dude those spoons are way nicer than my first spoons.

>>636634
A flat chisel or a curved chisel?

>>636650
A V shaped one. To be honest its a lino cutter.

>>637305
If you really did those spoons with a linoleum cutter and a bahco, I'm jelly of your skills

>>637307
Well thanks! In this instance i think the main skill is to take your time. I have started using a coping saw to remove some of the handle material instead if using my knife. This really speeds things up.

>>636637
Thanks so much! What tools do you use?

>>637360
Did you take any pics during the chiseling process? Or do you have any tips?

>>631228
Would love to have a go. What do you need? Knife and a piece of wood?

>>632132
"OH MY GOD J WHAT IS THAT THING?

>What set is that?
Not the same anon, but they look like knives made by Ben Orford. He's on Youtube and I think you can buy knives online.

My first attempt at a spoon, I used the tip of the knife like a chisel to gauge out the bowl rather than go around so its a bit square. Off topic for the thread but I have been practising twisting rope with cotton twine. Its surprisingly easy

I don't take terribly many pictures I'm afraid chum.

I'm trying to get into bone whittling, but I can only hunt rabbits and I don't want to buy bones or reuse the ribs in my baby back ribs.
