"Whittling for me is more than just an art. It is like meditation and rather therapeutical. Every single time you create something, it brings you the delight and also the happiness that meets your mind and soul".
This is the reply I got from an old practitioner when I asked him how do you interpret Whittling. Then I realized the core idea behind this craft. It comes with no deadline, no pre-written script, no rules, and just pure expression of your emotions through a knife and a piece of wood.
Occasionally the terms "Whittling" and "Carving" are made use of interchangeably, but they are various arts. Carving employs making use of chisels, cuts, with or without a mallet, while whittling entails only making use of a knife. Woodcarving enthusiasts comprehend the difference between carving and whittling; however, somebody without a knowledge of the topic may not understand the distinction. Carving involves using a knife, a chisel, and also a club to develop a figure or sculpture; whittling is easier than carving because it calls for using only a knife and wooden piece to make artistic creations. Whittling varies from shaving the tip of a tree branch to transforming a block of wood into a plaything watercraft. Many woodcarvers slam whittling as an amateurish hobby that just old men do to 'whittle away their time.' Nonetheless, whittling can create impressive outcomes like the wooden mallard duck decoys that interest the general public.
In the present times, when all the self-help gurus are talking about Digital Detox, Whittling comes as a strong contender to pass on to the young and the old alike.
