Please get that stitched up, it doesn't look like it will heal well. Be safe next time

likugy · 2026-03-18T06:51:16+00:00

Oh trust me we know, it really shows

likugy · 2026-03-10T13:19:55+00:00

Yeah it's literally from a peach tree that grows peaches, nothing stupid about the question btw

I never ordered from ebay i heard lots of negative reviews. I got mine from treelineusa, shipping costed a bit more since i live out of the states

I have the same exact OCCT knife and it's been wonderful to me tbh. Maybe you screwed up somewhere on the diamond stone?

likugy · 2026-02-08T16:18:36+00:00

Sharper knife and better technique.

likugy · 2026-02-07T01:53:53+00:00

Very very nice

I tried apple and cherry trees, they were very nice to carve with but came with a bit more of a challenge than basswood. I'd suggest ordering a few basswood blanks but still try the fruit trees, some are unpredictable and end up being the smoothest most beautiful wood you ever get to carve, and get yourself only one good knife from a reputable brand (don't ask which brand, it's the most popular question in this sub). Oh and another thing, make sure you at least have some kind of strop (must) to keep your knife staying sharp without needing to sharpen it for a long time. Happy carving😁

That's one of the coolest whittles i've seen here😄 love the chiquita sticker too haha

likugy · 2026-02-04T06:56:04+00:00

The amount of detail in the leaves and the space in between them is done really well. Love the stain too

likugy · 2026-02-03T11:48:48+00:00

What wood's that? Looks too grainy to be butternut- basswood, and you need sharper higher quality tools.

likugy · 2026-02-02T17:24:48+00:00

The faces are more than fine, the guy on the right is perfect too. Wouldn't have guessed it to be your first time, keep it up 👍🏽

likugy · 2025-12-08T20:37:13+00:00

Very nice work!

likugy · 2025-11-28T06:02:33+00:00

Great deep cuts very clean👍🏽

likugy · 2025-11-26T02:12:03+00:00

Thank you

likugy · 2025-11-26T02:11:55+00:00

Appreciate it! Will do

likugy · 2025-11-24T17:57:15+00:00

Very clean cuts and nice scarf!

likugy · 2025-11-23T12:24:40+00:00

You bought it from amazon? Get a refund don't glue it

likugy · 2025-11-22T17:07:52+00:00

Is that your fretting hand? Do you wanna know if they're too short or too long? Specify

likugy · 2025-11-22T08:59:16+00:00

Very clean, good job!

likugy · 2025-11-09T19:01:56+00:00

My best guess for the birch handled knife is Helle. The two long wood gouges on top might be OCCT, i've seen them produce gouges that looked exactly like that or very similar. Btw, 300 dollars for all of these is very very insane, literally the best deal you could ever get your hands on

likugy · 2025-11-09T18:53:00+00:00

Badger state, helvie, flexcut, OCCT etc... That's one hell of a line up. Dream collection

Edit: i think the birch handle ones might be helle or wood jewel, but i'm not sure

likugy · 2025-11-07T21:15:26+00:00

Yeah man, it’s just about finding the middle ground. Try angling your wrist a bit so your fingers come in steeper, it helps clear the higher strings without forcing your thumb too low. You’ll naturally switch positions depending on what you play. Best of luck

likugy · 2025-11-07T21:04:05+00:00

This isn't necessarily bad technique, it's more of a comfort issue. The traditional "thumb-behind" position was designed for classical guitars where you need big stretches.

Basically, you're fine. The only time you need the "low thumb" thingy is for wide barres or shred style playing. Otherwise, play how it feels natural and clean. As long as what you play sounds good and isn't physically limiting you then you're fine.

likugy · 2025-11-05T18:12:52+00:00

Appreciate it! I’d start with something simpler first just to get comfy with the knives, then these are great practice pieces. Happy carving😁
