This is a begginer Whittle, Knife Only from Basswood. The Block is 2and7/8ths inches tall. If you want a full cut by cut tutorial, the 40minute version showing every cut i did is on YouTube. Measurement: NECK: 7/8TH OF AN INCH OR 2.22CM FROM THE TOP OF THE BLOCK. FEET / BASE: 5/8TH OF AN INCH OR 1.58CM FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE BLOCK. & 1 INCH OR 2.54CM FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE BLOCK. How do I get into Carving?? You need several things, a sharp knife, a leather strop with compound for honing your blade, safety gloves (A5 or better) and basswood (to carve like i do at least.) Solid Knife brands, Flexcut, Badger State Blades (USA), Mstein (Europe) there are a lot of great knife brands. Stay away from kits on amazon of several knives. They're much much lower quality with inconsistently tempered steel. (What that means is its not hardened, and so it won't stay sharp easy, meaning you're fighting the knife and dont understand why its harder for you to carve when its easy for others.) Why Basswood? Its softer than other hardwoods and holds detail well. Learning to carve with basswood is akin to learning to drive on an automatic. It simplifies and streamlines learning. Woods like Walnut and oak can be carved, but learning to carve with them as the starting point is like learning to drive on an 18 wheeler Semi Truck with manual transmission. Its needlessly difficult. In europe, the equivalent is Linden, in Asia, Jelutong, and in south America Caxeta is a good substitute #woodcarving #whittling #stem #stepbystep #folkart
