I've never thought of wood carving in my life but you popped up on my feed. This was so satisfying that I watched the full thing. Great video and I now want to get into the hobby!

Fun fact: the "neck puff" on a rabbit is called a dewlap, and is found in both male and female rabbits, but often get bigger in females so that they can use the fur from the dewlap as nesting material if need be.

I'm a beginner and have only been able to make eggs, your tutorials are a great step by step to carving other things. |I'm waiting on more wood to give the bunny and fox a go.

My exposure to whittling has been limited to watching old timers in movies making smaller sticks out of bigger sticks, and I had never really seen any point to it other than biding time. These videos have opened my eyes. and the whittle animals are sooo cute!

I just wanted to say thank you. I just bought some carving tools the other day and picked up a whittling knife. I made my first hillbilly dwarf guy and I'm having a lot of fun. So thank you for taking the time to make these videos for us. I appreciate it!
