Wanna talk about your hobbies or post about them? Here's your spot! From mini painting to cross stitching to crocheting.
i did this by loosely following this tutorial video. it's more of a work in progress cause my hands got tired but my plan is to keep making these until whittling squirrels comes easy to me.
for next time i want to make sure i follow the tutorial more closely cause i sort of watched it a few times then ran with it. i need to practice some cuts that i'm really struggling with to define the shapes more. also this poor squirrels tail turned out much too small, should be big and fluffy looking 
Nice job! I also like to whittle. Have you gotten one of those kits with the different kinds of cutting tools? They're cheap and they're a game changer.
Personally I like to make spoons. We have a vegetarian deer camp party every fall and my goal is to whittle a spoon before Saturday dinner so I can eat my pasty with it.
Nothing is more frustrating than spending a weekend on a project and accidentally snapping it in half or something
thanks!! i have this set of three knives with slightly different blades (one long and two shorter ones with one being thicker than the others) although i've only really used one of them so far.
and handmade spoons are so cool i definitely want to try that soon! being able to actually use it would be so rewarding i bet.
(i hope my squirrels won't snap 
)
Dunno why, but front paws have strong squirrel energy, great work 
thank you!!! it's for sure my favorite squirrel pose, they look so cute when they do that :D 
here's a photo of the front too!
Picturing you doing this on a porch with a grass reed in your mouth and a straw hat.
it definitely went something like that lol 
I like listening to bluegrass while whittling. Especially long love albums of bands like Yonder Mountain String Band
