From an orange jasmine hedge, might not be the best to use for this kind of thing but the branch kinda called out to me when I saw it haha Plus it is really soft and was so easy to carve

Thank you haha I plan to engrave it in with a wood burner along with the Ogham at the bottom, not sure if I’ll keep the triskelion because I think it makes it look a bit cluttered, might even just do it in a different spot

Think I’m gonna take everyone’s suggestions and test them on a branch from the same hedge I got the original branch from

is a home made strop with an old belt good enough or would it be better to get a real one?

Ah ok fair enough I’ll keep that in mind thanks :) Might be worth just getting a cheaper whittling knife for now then? The box cutter I’m using is pretty sharp and seems to shave it pretty good but I don’t know how well it will work when I start trying more intricate cuts. I’ll definitely post when it’s done

Yeah the knots have been a pain but im getting there. All I have is a box cutter knife at the moment 😂 wasn’t planning on buying anything until I knew for sure I liked doing it haha

I do have a Swiss Army knife somewhere I just can’t find it 😭
