	Welcome to the world of whittling, a hobby for some, an obsession for others, a joy for all. Whittling is as ancient as mankind itself, and has provided a means for expression both artistic and functional. This site is devoted to all things whittling, and I hope that you will be inspired to pick up a knife and get going. Resources are provided here for you to locate raw materials, educational and training information, and to contact the author who himself is a practiced whittler. This site is a work in progress, check back once in a while to see what's new. To get going just click on one of the buttons to the left, and begin your journey. Welcome!

	Note: I whittle for fun, not for money. I don't sell any of my works, nor do I do work on commission. Please don't ask.
