 Whittling question Hi All...  re: whittling/carving.Pics below are my first two attempts at whittling. Wood is ordinary Pine chair rail from Lowes and they were done with a knife (except the flutes beneath the ship). You can see in pics that where the plane of the background meets the slope of the "frame" (bottom and top) it is "creased" rather than smooth.  http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y159/FiveO/Ship.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y159/FiveO/Heart.jpg How do I make that tidier?  Thanks All!!!  Shawnee  |

| Re: Whittling question "I'd leave it be it gives it caricature" That's one of my most used woodcarving cliches. You may want to get a set of small gouges and use the "sweep gouge" or as I call it the U gouge to make that cut across grain with that. That's some funky wood grain to cut with a knife. I hope that helps.
