Introduction Post. Welcome new followers!

I'm a Geek, Bookworm, & Woodcarver of the Fantastic, Whimsical, & seasonal. I'm on a journey to improve my carving skills, and try to get new folks into the hobby. I have a YouTube where I do tutorials on woodcarving, and an Etsy where I sell carvings!

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE.

If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease!

Whittled this gaggle of monsters out of 1inch wide sticks 3.5 inches tall using just a knife while making a tutorial video.

Lots of fun! I like being able to just grab some basswood and make something.

Another #persistencenotperfection: this little chap was my attempt at @johnnythelayton.bsky.social's great whittled dog video. It really didn't come out well, however, and I was tempted to give up on it.

(To be clear, the video is excellent; my execution of the instructions, less so)

A rather fat whittled howling dog with paws in odd places.
