I have done quite a few wood spirits in cottonwood bark and am now going to attack a whittling project. I am going to use a small piece of basswood (1.75" x 5") to carve a bottle nose dolphin. For this project, I am going to use a band saw to cut out the dolphin and then my super sharp flexcut knives as the only carving tools until I have the body of the dolphin finished. I will be posting pictures as I progress. Thanks for following!
The first step is to sketch a dolphin on the basswood that I have chosen for the carving. You can either use patterns or draw it on the wood yourself as I have done here. In the next step, I will use a band saw to cut much of the wood away from the block.
