WHITTLING

Do you have small-scale whittling or carving projects? Bring them. Not really a workshop or skillshare, unless you feel like teaching someone something, but whittling has a way of teaching itself, especially if you start on something easy, like a carrot. Bring a snack or beverage, if you like. Or just eat your carrot after you whittle it.
