I'm new to whittling and these are the first things I completed that don't look like trash.

I followed one of those "make a fox" youtube guides for the first one.

Looks great! How long have you been whittling? Always wanted to pick it up.

Probably somewhere under 10 hours. I think it takes me ~1h per project + whatever time i take to paint it.

They are made from 1" x 1" x 4" blocks so they're pretty small and relatively quick to make.

If you do decide to pick it up, checkout Linker. He's got some great videos to draw inspiration from (and his videos kinda pushed me try it out myself).

Cool, thanks for the info! I'll look into it, kinda short on time right now but hopefully find some spare time in winter to give it a shot!
