Whittling

[.philmypower.]

Any whittlers out there, just got myself a whittling knife and don't know where to start, any tips would be appreciated.

Not sure this is what you're after but in spring I make little whistles from sycamore twigs for the kids.

Thanks, I'm interested in carving some nice heads to mount on walking sticks.

I think you might have been better to ask if there were any carvers out there. but its even harder to explain how too. there are some very good books out there with lots of information and there is also the "british stick marker guild" which has its own magazine bi monthly which is worth a read and the cost of member is'nt to bad either. oh and by the way good luck.
