This wood carving project is super easy for beginners, and can be tweaked enough for intermediate whittlers, too! Sadly, I can't take credit for the original design, which I got from The Complete Starter Guide to Whittling (which you can purchase here https://amzn.to/3vNpTHC).
---------------------------
Tools I use:
- Beavercraft carving knives (http://amzn.to/3tO2gNj)
- Cut-resistant gloves (http://amzn.to/2OTSmL6)
- Basswood (http://amzn.to/3f2zB2L)
