I live on the east coast. Do you know any online resources to teach myself how to whittle?
Check out https://woodcarvingillustrated.com/clubs/ to see if there's a club in your area. You might want to check google and Facebook for local groups! As for other resources, I'd check your local library for carving books and magazines. Wood Carving Illustrated has tutorials that are really good. I don't watch a lot of wood carving videos online so I can't recommend any in good faith!
A year or so ago I went to wood carving club with a bruised eye from my dog slamming his nose into my eyesocket and like every old lady there pulled me aside at some point to ask if my partner hit me here are some of the solutions they had in case he did.
-Replacing his vitimens with poision
- getting her brother to invite him out onto his boat and then killing him and dumping him in the ocean and saying he got drunk and fell off.
- get tboned with him in the passenger seat and then once he was in the hospital theres all kinds of easy ways to kill him like not washing my hands after a poop and then touching his wound casually.
-replacing his drink of choice with moonshine!?
- take him on a hike thats locally notorious for a rapid otter attacking hikers and once he had rabies I could just kill him any ol way and say self defense.
-One lady just cheerfully informed me she had a gun and only a few years left anyway
Today is the monthly meeting everyone! It's 10am-1pm! On top of always being fun to gather with the whole club and carve, if you're new it's an excellent way to get knives for a good price! We're currently raffling off the knives left to us by our former treasure Al after he passed away. A lot of our members also sell their old knives for around 15$ to make room for upgrades! And if you come it'll make me, the social media person look really good.
We meet the first Saturday of the month at the Active Club Recreation Bldg 1025 Tacoma Ave. Port Orchard, WA 98366 10am -1 PM
Please, I cry in Central-Asian for wood’s sake!
my friend some of the best carvers in the world are in central Asia! And if you're rural and can't find a teacher, there are so many videos online to help you get started! I'm sad you can't join us specifically, but I'm sure you can learn to carve! You have the spirit and the internet! You can do anything!
