Wood Whittlers
Wood whittlers take their craft to another level by turning simple branches and twigs into exquisitely-carved decorations that can be displayed on shelves, front lawns or cars – the ideal gift for that special guy in your life who enjoys creating and spending time crafting with others or alone!
Whittling is a simple and enjoyable hobby to take up. You don’t need any complex tools or equipment – all you need is a knife and some wood! Some whittlers use nothing more than their pocket knives while others have more elaborate carving kits with curved blades, mallets, chisels and more – this form of woodcarving is known as carving and is generally employed for larger projects that require intricate work with multiple cutting tools.
Starting off on your whittling journey starts with a high quality pocket knife with sharp and suitable blade. A larger knife with multiple blade types could also make an excellent gift idea as this allows them to do different cuts on one piece of wood.
First rule of whittling is always cutting away from yourself. While it may seem obvious, cutting away from yourself prevents splinters and other injuries to fingers. A whittler should wear protective gloves; leather work gloves for beginners may be suitable. Also have some duct tape handy and wrap it around thumb joints as an added precaution against accidentally cutting yourself with the knife.
Your favorite wood whittler deserves merchandise designed by independent artists, printed on quality products made individually in socially responsible ways that put money directly in their hands as artists. You’re sure to find plenty of options! You can easily find T-shirts, stickers and merchandise designed by these independent artists perfect for them in no time at all!
As you shop for the whittler in your life, take note of their carving experience and favorite types of things they enjoy creating. Also take into account their skill level and any future plans they may have for expanding it further. Considering all this will allow you to select an excellent gift – something they will treasure and support local artists while purchasing something they will use over time! Happy Shopping and I look forward to seeing what creations come your way.
