Winter Whittling Bug

[Ashley Cawley]

Was on a bit of a whittling frenzy last night, chilling out in the office listening to Satish Kumar I made some of the following:

Net Needle & 2" Gauge

And a couple of funky forks, one of the left isn't finished yet, also burnt a pattern into my Bullroarer (which you can see in the background)...

Oh and I've applied a lick of Tung oil to everything but the one largest fork which is unfinished at the mo and is the whitest out of the bunch.

[Roadkillphil]

Like what you've done in the last pic... Positioning the scar over the twig, made me do a double take! :)

Damn nice work Bro

[jus_young]

Like what you've done there. So is the net making next on the list then?

[AdrianRose]

Excellent work ash.

I've been meaning to have a bash at carving a spork so I think you have inspired me to pull my finger out.

[Adam Savage]

Top stuff as usual Ash. I'm glad I don't do much whittling...I'd constantly get showed up by you and Phil :D

Very nice, i have dont have much luck at carving a fork as nearly always break the prongs.Try using a swiss army knife saw and a small knife to make life easy - and mind the pink bits!


Like what you've done in the last pic... Positioning the scar over the twig, made me do a double take! That's cool! I honestly never noticed that until you just said :)


Like what you've done there. So is the net making next on the list then?You bet! :o I've made a couple of nets before but not practiced net-making for a few years now and will no doubt feel like a complete beginner again when I try it :)


Excellent work ash.*

Ade.Glad to hear it! - Make sure you share your whittling ;)


Thanks for all the compliments guys, it's a continual learning process whittling and an enjoyable one at that! I still see really elegant spoon designs about that I can't quite pull off - I haven't got a artist'eye but when I get whittling sometimes I wish I did!
