S1 E3 - Carving Basics - Wood Wizards 

Wood wizards - the simple project that is super-fun and really got me started in wood carving about 4 years ago. I found a video on Doug Linker's channel • The Most Fantastically... where he shows you how to carve these delightful characters. I suggest you check that one out as well. He's got some great tips and he's way faster than me at making these. Either way, it was fun to come back to this project having gone on to do other more complex projects. But I'd say this one is the project that got me started with whittling as a hobby. It's the fundamentals for carving pretty much anything else - and a great practice piece to hone your skills.
