Jodie A Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 My name is Jodie and I am from Rhode Island in the USA. I guess you could call me a rookie whittler? Small figure carver maybe. I am Legally blind 20/400 aquity and highly nearsighted which makes whittling/carving more interesting :-) I am still figuring out how to make certain cuts in the right spots to get the results I want. I am currently using scraps of 1x2's and some downed tree wood by my apartment to practice with. I purchased a set of knives that are razor sharp and the removable tips come in all types of shapes and size. Already cut myself twice. My 2 projects I am working on is a small dog from a 1x2 piece of scrap wood. And an old ladies face from a downed tree limb. The woman's face has been sitting for awhile as I have been stuck on proportions and needing to tend to other life issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim K Jordan Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Get yourself a Kevlar/stainless mesh woodcarving glove for your off hand. May not stop a blade completely, but they will lessen the damage to your vulnerable bits. Buy some good bandages too, the fancy high tech waterproof ones are worth the extra cost.
