This video I talk about and demonstrate some of my sharpening techniques. Always use safety gear, common sense, and be sure your concentrating on what you’re doing. If you feel unsafe or unsure about doing something, stop, find someone who has done it before to help you or find another way to do it.

Berry Williams is primarily a wood whittler who’s been whittling for more years than he cares to count. He claims not to be a wood carver, as being a wood carver requires having talent and expensive tools. Berry likes to whittle primarily using his pocket knife and a type of wood called Bass wood, which is reasonably firm and not very grainy. In this video he shows you how to make a Christmas star using a more expensive chip carving knife. He stresses that you should always keep your knives super sharp and take your time to avoid accidents. If you like working with your hands and if you like working with wood, Berry recommends giving whittling a try, its a lot of fun!
