My Last Whittle Wood Spirit Of 2019

in #whittling5 years ago

One year has passed since I've begun my whittle journey. I've suffered sore hands, deep slices in my fingers and have kindled more then carved at times. It just keeps getting better!

This is my final knife only whittle for 2019. I'll clean it up next year.

This is my second Wood Spirit Breaking Out. You can see the first one here:

Here's how it begins:

Just a simple piece of scrap pine 2 inch by 2 inch by 5 3/4 inch.

Then this happens

Now, you have to figure out how to get down to a decent depth and make it all look somewhat fancy. Like this:

Finally, you can prettify it by adding some details. Like this:

There's a bit more to do that'll make it a finished piece, but I have to go to sleep now.

Happy New Year SteemIt Peeps!
