Whittling whittlers

[Hugo]

Whittled a few handles for some whittling knives I'm putting together.
The wood I am told is walnut, from a large block that I have.
The handle with the finger grip came about whilst cutting from the block with an axe, it had a natural wave to the grain so I left it in.
I have put some home made bees wax and teak oil concoction and a rub with a cloth to polish them up.

Looking good mate.

Great stuff - I really like the one you made me.

Nice handles, looking forward to seeing them with the blades in.

 

[gypsy slings]

[Hugo]

Cheers fellas, waiting on drill bit so as to fit the blades.

Really love that grain, and it looks like a very tactile surface for the hand, as well. Looking forward to seeing the end results!

 

[Hugo]

They are very tactile actually, that's what Mountainm said to me when he had one of mine.

 

[Kepis]

I love mine, use it all the time

 

[Hugo]

I have handled three today no pictures as yet.

 

[Hugo]

Well I have finished some of them, just a couple more to do, not sure what blades to use.
I have been a bit busy with other projects, I digress, take a look at the finished articles.

lovely job there mate, that small one at the botom looks absolutely spot on:You_Rock_

 

[Hugo]

funny you should say that Kepis mate.
I was going to do them all the same as that but got carried away.
I shall let you try it out on our next whittling day out mate, I want your honest opinion on it as a whittler.

 

[Kepis]

look forward to giving it a try mate

All very good, but + one on above .

Update for you Kepis mate.
The third blank handle in the top picture has been whittled down a bit, close to a blade of the same, small one you like.
You now have a chance to try them out tomorrow, try before you barter.
