My worst problem with pursuing whittling is hand cramping. It is just one more joy of growing old.

I had not done any whittling since I was a kid
Earlier this year I picked up some Cedar scraps and doodled around with them . The Celtic knot was roughed out on a scroll saw, so I cheated with that. I made several of different kinds of knots and gave them to my kids to put hot pots on. I have to keep the hand out of my wife's sight; it gives here the creeps. I should do my face and she would go stark raving mad.

Very cool. 
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

I do quite a bit of whittling, this is a practice piece I did before doing the hand on a larger piece I made.

Re: I had not done any whittling since I was a kid
Nice!I've become very proficient at carving wood chips.
It used to bother me when people would admire and call them shavings, but I've come to accept that.
Take care and God bless,
