Safety is paramount when working with sharp objects, always use proper technique from "summary" of Carve: A Simple Guide to Whittling by Melanie Abrantes

When working with sharp objects, it is essential to prioritize safety above all else. Proper technique is crucial to ensure that you can enjoy the craft of whittling without risking injury. Before you begin carving, make sure that you have the necessary protective gear, such as gloves and goggles, to shield yourself from any potential accidents. Additionally, always carve away from your body to prevent any self-inflicted wounds. It is important to maintain a steady grip on your knife and to carve with controlled movements. Rushing through the process can lead to mistakes that may result in cuts or other injuries. Take your time and focus on each cut to ensure precision and safety. When selecting a piece of wood to carve, be sure to choose a stable and solid material that will not easily splinter or break. This will help prevent any unexpected accidents while you are working. If you are a beginner, consider taking a class or seeking guidance from more experienced whittlers to learn proper techniques and safety precautions. Practice makes perfect, and by honing your skills in a controlled environment, you can build confidence and reduce the risk of accidents. By prioritizing safety and using proper technique, you can fully immerse yourself in the art of whittling without putting yourself at unnecessary risk. Remember, the joy of creating something beautiful with your hands is worth taking the time to carve safely and responsibly.
