Easy Whittling Projects

When it comes to handcrafted wares, there are countless different things you can make, and of all different kinds. Many people do fine, detailed things using fabrics, flosses, and needles, but such delicate crafts aren’t for everyone. Some people like to make something that they can mould more heavily with their own hands. That’s where things like woodworking come into play.

Then you’re the perfect person to start learning how to whittle.

Check out these 15 simple tutorials that will teach you how to whittle all kinds of things using different techniques!
