Whittlin' Away

I tried my hand at carving again. I'm surprised how much different it was from the soap. As expected, wood is harder but it was more than that. I had to monitor how hard I dug into the wood so I wouldn't put a huge dent in it . The process was a little like this: push tip down with pressure, then push forward instead of down, then let up the pressure when I've almost reached the stopping point, then pull up so that I sort of snip off the little bit of wood.

This definitely requires focus or you'll be stripping off your skin! Fortunately for me - no bandages required.
