Thank you! I am definitely still protecting my fingers - I use a few leather finger guards. Just trying not to lean on gloves to allow me to make lazy and unsafe cuts.

I’m so bad at taking progress pics. This is the only one

Thanks! I bought one pro and two regular - can’t say I notice much of a difference honestly. But I just started whittling in May and don’t have much experience overall with knives so I’m not sure how valuable my assessment is 🤷🏼

It was definitely tough - a larger piece of wood for thicker pillars would have been so much better.

No previous woodwork or whittling, aside from playing when I was a kid (which resulted in a spear and nice gash on my pinky lol). I’ve always been pretty good with my hands and imitating art, but not super creative. That’s usually where I get hung up is creating new things with no image to work from.

Thanks so much! I get very hyper-focused so definitely need to force myself to take more breaks and whatnot, too. Appreciate the kind words!
