- Learning how to make easy and confident cuts is important to anyone who is getting into whittling. Sometimes you cant just brute strength your way though wood carving and you have to utalize proper technique and create good safe habbits.
Whittling requires skill with a knife and knowing how to use the tools you have to manipulate the wood. Without this, what could take you an hour could take several hours instead.

I agree with your philosophy of carving and controlling your knife. The other thing I learned is you may never be able to carve the same as some of the UA-cam carvers. I am a slow carver because I cannot remove wood as fast as some carvers. I have learned that this is OK because my end carving is as good as anyone carver. My hand strength is less than other carvers which makes me a slower carver. But I really love the art that each of us can create!!!
Every professional chef learns knife safety, and they also learn that the paring knife defies the rules of knife safety. It is acceptable, because you are always controlling the knife blade, and it's not hard to learn proper technique as shown here. It's not unsafe, it's growing up.
That knife is GORGEOUS!!!
I think this topic, the controll-power distribution of the hands, is really underestimated, thank you for covering it!
I thought so as well and is something that comes second nature to any experienced carvers. Sometimes, it just needs to be brought out to the light for discussion.
What a beauty this little damascus whittling knife is
Thank you! It's one of my favorites :)
Where did you get that knife?
I had it custom made for me from becwithforge on instagram, but he doesn't do cusom work anymore last I checked.
@@CarvingisFunNice knife, thanks for the reply.
what is that green stuff wrapped on your thumbs?
Just self adhering ace wrap, it ads some extra cushion when pushing the blades and reduces the chance accidental cuts.
@@CarvingisFun i might need to look for some of that
Great demonstration and explanation of those cuts.
Thanks!
Now this might be a stupid question but sometimes I struggle with making symmetrical cuts on two opposing sides. It feels like I need to be ambidextrous for certain tasks. Have you ever experienced that or found some workarounds?
Not a stupid question at all!
And to answer your question, I just allow for the asymmetry, and it looks way better to me.
@@CarvingisFun nice perspective, thanks! :)
Hey i was wondering if you could do an easy penguin tutorial penguins are my favorite animals!
I was gonna do one, but Doug Linker did a really good one and I didn't wanna steal his thunder: ua-cam.com/video/UQu_iHZoSXU/v-deo.htmlsi=jeK56OPODmGtjfRl
@@CarvingisFun thank you!
What a beautiful blade! 😮
Thank you! It's one of mg favorites 😀
Noticed that you have green fingers protection over the gloves can you please let me know where you get them from as the ones that I have bought are very small.
Just self adhering ace wrap I got from the pharmacy. It ads some extra cushion when pushing the blades and reduces the chance accidental cuts on my non gloved hand
I cut the fingers of the second right glove and use them on the left hand fingers to double the thickness
