Sorry I’m late with my whittling post this week – I have been working at the hub this morning.<\/p>\n

Today I’m going to show you how to whittle a small bird.\u00a0 The one I am making is officially Britain’s smallest bird, the Goldcrest.\u00a0 I have used a hazel stick.\u00a0 I sawed an 8 cm length off the end of my stick.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I wore my cut resistant glove and started to make small cuts with my whittling knife to, gradually, shape the little bird.\u00a0 I use a photo of the bird to keep referring to as I whittle.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
