SIMPLE Stuff - For Any Level of Whittler

 Every now and then when my brain is not functioning at a proper level I go to my scrap box and make blanks of the smallest and easy things to whittle.  And like it or not, my brain is taking a time out more and more often.

I only follow a few rules when whittling simple stuff.  RULE 1 KNIVES only.  A piece of RESCUED SCRAP WOOD.  MINIMUM VALUE TO THE WOOD USED.  It's rescue wood!  It'd be burned if not rescued for my small stuff.   The whittled piece must be kid friendly, in as much as something they would get some enjoyment out of.  I am mainly talking about the whittling being turned into a pendant for around the neck.   You see these are all given away.  Some time to the kid directly (with parents OK).  Try it, it's fun.

This small easy whittling also includes REFRIGERATOR MAGNETS,  CHRISTMAS TREE ORNAMENTS, and  PINS.
