Got something new started. Hope it looks like a snake when I get through. We will see.

I can see that you have the "Snake Body" divided up in sections, so how does that work? I'm curious to understand the pencil marks.

Looking forward to see the finished snake!

My guess is you're making links to give it some wiggle action?
Take care and God bless,

The marking are to be links so it will have a little wiggle. And the plans are for a ball in a box for the last section. Thanks for looking.

That sounds pretty neat. I've never attempted whittling so it will be cool to see the finished product. ::nod::

Bass wood is about the only thing I have tried so far. Thanks.

If I tried to make a Snake like you're doing, it would look like a tangled up string of Christmas lights... :shock:
