Default Whittling Trick Manual
For anyone who has an interest in whittling whimseys, this is the book. This is the original 1930 text, there is also a paperback reprint available for less.

This may also be less expensive on Addall or Bookfinder.

That is one I haven't seen. I may have to find a copy.

How does this compare to Tangerman's books? *I'm now up to 5 of his.* I bought Bill Higgenbotham's "Whittling" and, while it has lots of patterns, I didn't like it as well as my Tangermans. I also own Keith Randich's "Old Time Whittling" and it also sits on the shelf.

Bill Higgenbotham put out an earlier book using the title "Whittlin' Bill's Folk Characters"
