Neat. I've never considered whittling before - I found this post from /local. What sort of tools do you use? I assume it's not just a pocket knife like you see in movies? (And sandpaper and stain obviously)
For this one, actually yes only a pocket knife (opinel folding knife) but now I have opted for a more ergonomic knife (shorter blade and larger handle) and I also have a hook blade for hollow forms such as spoons.
Thank you for the info. I've been looking for my next hobby.
The YouTube channel 'Carving is fun' has a lot of content regarding tools and also nice projects for beginners if you don't know where to start
