This is a badge bit (
BB) that is part of the
PEA curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in
Roundwood Working.
This is another of those projects that whittlers use to hone their control of the knife early on. Once you’re experienced, a simple one can be made in just 4 minutes. However, take your time on this first one to add a little detail in there.
To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:
Carve a simple
wood spirit from a single stick of wood.
Use only manual hand tools.
To document and become certified for this BB provide photos or video (less than 2 minutes) showing the following:
- Show the wood and tools you will be using
- Show the roughed-in face shape of the wood spirit
- Show the detail work of the finished wood spirit.
