In this video you will learn to carve a simple Woodspirit using a knife and a v-tool. With just a little practice, this project can be carved in just 15 minutes. This is the fourth project in the Complete Beginner Lesson series. As a lesson (as opposed to a tutorial) this video will take time to explain how and why to complete each step and will pause periodically to specifically teach new skills.

By the end of this video you will be able to:
1) Carve a simple face.
2) Make clean cuts with a v-tool.

Note: The wood used in this video is basswood

The knife used in this video is from Deep Holler Knives, see [ Ссылка ] for details on where to purchase. The V-Tool used in this video is a 1/4 inch, 60 degree v-tool from Drake Tools, see [ Ссылка ] for more details.

Series Description: Welcome to the Complete Beginner Whittling Lessons Series! This series is intended for people who are completely new to whittling and looking for advice on how to get started. It starts with a series of four videos about what equipment and materials are needed for whittling and then there will be a series of projects that will teach the basics of whittling while completing specific projects.

Note that this series focuses on what I would call hobby whittling using dedicated whittling knives and wood that are specifically designed for whittling as a hobby. We will not focus on found wood carving, knives that are not specifically dedicated to whittling, spoon carving, bushcraft or other forms of whittling and woodcarving in this series.
