  1. What did I do this weekend - besides just existing? I wove a wreath (from hazel and knotweed) and taught my child the technique. I carved for the first time in two years (my fingers! Argh!): Mushroom 1 (No. It's not what YOU think!) and 2. And I tried to draw a Pallas cat and created some kind of... Gremlin-bat-cat?

  2. Ich arbeite generell eher klein, doch wollte ich mich ein wenig herausfordern und "schnitzte" einen winzigen Schädel aus der Mine eines IKEA-Bleistifts. Dazu nutzte ich hauptsächlich eine Nähnadel, mit der ich das Material abschabte.

  7. One of the best unintentional benefits of wood carving has to be the free mulch. As soon as spring hits, these aspen shavings are going around my baby apple trees haha

  12. When you have many #rabbitholes in your life, here is one that the #whittling community might enjoy: atlasobscura.com/articles/ches

    Maybe yet another project for me to carve a complete #chess set!

  13. Every morning, I've been gradually working on a walking stick. It's the first I've ever made, so it's been great practice.

    I just finished the wood burning, and now I am going to try leather wrapping the handle (another thing I've never done before).

  16. @Maker_of_Things @makershour Hi, I'm Shermin from Berlin, Germany. I'm into hobby hopping. 🙈 I do #whittling, #sewing, #pottery, #spinning, #aquarell, #quilting (EPP) - these are the ones I do most at the moment. If I have time and energy. 😅 In the last time I'm trying to do food miniatures with polymer clay. This is my first try at a cake, after I saw some awesome reel of something like this on Instagram. I also have some cookies and donuts in the making - but haven't found time to finish them. (Sorry for the bad light, it's nearly 10 pm here.)

  17. Because some of you liked my last posts with my work in progress (naturally I haven't finished these, but started to work on an octopus jewellery dish 🙄 because you can't have enough UFO's in your life 😅) I show you my Kirschvogel. Kirsche means Cherry in German, Vogel = Bird. I had something swallow- or sparrowlike in my mind while I worked on it, but my dear family calls it "Die Ente!" (this duck!) 🤪, because the beak looks very wide when you look from above at the thingie. But I designed it to look at it from the side. I made it for myself and it now sits on a raised place on my desktop, so that I look directly at it and can just be happy about my small bird.

    I saw something like this (bigger, shinier, better) on Pinterest last year and tried to make it in a smaller scale. It's a Holder for pens - or respectively my fountain pen of choice. The pen of your choice should resemble the tail feather. As you can see, a lip stick has also a perfect place here.
    As funny as this is: The cherry wood I used is selled as neatly in smooth rectangles sowed smoker wood for BBQs. Nice for litte projects and much cheaper than wood which is explicitly sold for whittling. But it's seasoned and really hard wood - which gave me some problems in the beginning - until I switched to soak it before working on it.

  18. Had a lovely afternoon with nice visitor and could do something while we talked. Here are some pics in progress: I played a little bit with fire 🔥 to smooth out the surface of this small jewellery dish I'm making. I always have problems with the surface after using my gouges. Working with sandpaper for too long hurts too much in my wrists. So I had the idea to use fire - it worked out great. Will do some sanding and then give it a polish with my homemade wood butter.
    The other picture is showing a little spoon blanket I made today - out of a bit of cherry wood. It's relatively hard wood, before working on it, I always need to soak it for a few minutes in water. Maybe that's really bad for wood? I haven't seen other persons doing this (but maybe they mostly use green wood for whittling?). I tried it at other small objects and the wood didn't splinter or went grey. The outcome was really nice and I could work out a very thin rim. You can see this in the little kitchen chute I made, have a look in this recipe article for a cookie spice (scroll down to have a better look at it):

    Also in the picture is the axe/hatchett I got for christmas. Used it for the first time. I like her weight, but the handle is a little bit to thick for my hands. As you can see, she is two faced and has an adze (Runddechsel) for bowls or (bigger than my actual one) spoons. Still searching for a name for her.

  19. Na..? Wer hat sich gerade selbst eine kleine, niedliche, neue #Axt zu Weihnachten gegönnt? Mit Hohldechsel auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite zur Axtklinge. Geschmiedet in Bulgarien
    Hach, sie ist so hübsch! 🤩 Und sie benötigt natürlich auch einen Namen, wie mein kleines, schwarzes Beil.
