Whittling or wood carving

“My biggest takeaway is how deeply I entered the flow state. I swear — I sat in silence for three full hours on the first day. I looked at the time and it was 1 a.m. and I sat wondering where the time went. It felt more like meditation than a craft.”

“Hey there! Got my Beavercraft kit today, super excited and had a great first evening carving this bad boy here (and got my first war wound too ahah) I’m not quite done but happy with where I am so far and I didn’t see the time go by! I feel like it took me a lot of time though to get there though, about 2h! Does that sound normal? I felt like the knife wasn’t super sharp despite regular stropping and had to push quite a lot for each carv (definitely not like hot knife in butter like it says on the box!).”
