look what I made … a bit fishy huh!

This is my first attempt ever ever ever at whittling anything at all.  Well except for little spears, that ’some people’ with a lack of imagination might have called ‘pointy sticks’.

Why whittling, because at X-mas the mrs bought me “the world’s smallest whittling kit” from Hawkin’s Bazaar.  It included the world’s smallest, bluntest, most pointless and ludicrously useful whittling knife ever … fortunately, after much whinging, the mrs bought me a replacement!

 But look look look what I made:

I’m really pleased with it, a few mistakes, and one or two severed digits … but otherwise a success.  All in it’s about 4 inches long, is made out of a piece of kindling, and was finished with an ‘indian rosewood’ stain and a hard gloss varnish.

Remember you can seem me over on DeviantART too.

Very impressive. Must have taken some patience.

I find it’s something I can pick up and put down while the kids are doing there ‘thing’, on those rare occassions when there ‘thing’ doesn’t involve fighting with one another or trying to wind me up!

It’s quite calming actually :)
