How to Whittle Mushrooms | How to Whittle Wood for Beginners | Whittling Projects for Beginners

Thanks for joining me again here at the Joy of Carving! I’ve been thinking a lot about the best project for a complete novice to whittling, what would be the best beginner project for someone who has never whittled before? And these mushrooms sprang to mind! Easy to do and fantastic when they’re finished as a little driftwood ornament.

I never think of woodgrain

[@ksfwfc2899]

I did it from a cuboid piece of wood

[@viliusmarcinkevicius4747]

Hey! Thanks for the video! I was looking into how to carve mushrooms to incorporate them in my designs. Coming from a carpentry background when cutting into endgrain it often helps to dampen the wood. This helps not to rip out the fibers.

[@lpdesignwoodwork]

Thanks for the support! Great advice! I’ll try that next time 😁👍👍

[@DraDiSe]

WOW! Mushrooms are always so fun to carve! and your design looks amazing! Can't wait to try something similar myself

[@lpdesignwoodwork]

They’re so quick to do too, you should definitely give them a go! You’ll have to share pics when you’re done I’d love to see your finished carving! 😊👍

[@unicornsare2kool]

How do I do it with wood that isn’t in the shape of a mushroom already?

[@lpdesignwoodwork]

The easiest way would be to make a blank cutout by sawing the rough shape from the wood you have. If you trace the shape of the mushroom onto the wood then carefully saw away the parts you don’t need, you’ll be left with the shape I start with in the video. Hope that helps! 😊😊🙏

[@unicornsare2kool]

@@lpdesignwoodwork ty! I did try earlier but my thumb really hurt so I gave up 😅

[@lpdesignwoodwork]

@@unicornsare2kool 😂 Don’t give up! It’s a slow process, just do a little at a time. Eventually you’ll have really tough hands!

[@unicornsare2kool]

@@lpdesignwoodwork ok 😊

[@ActuallyNickV]

How do you go about doing the cut-outs, I'm assuming power tools?

[@lpdesignwoodwork]

I created a template and used a band saw to cut the blanks but I used a regular coping saw for many years, I still go to the hand tools more often as I find the control on them better 😊

[@georgeblackwell7435]

it seems cutting away is not so good i tested it and the results are always a little wrong

[@lpdesignwoodwork]

I’ve created a KZbin short on the channel so you can see how to cut it, that should make it clear for you 😊👍
