So my sister brought the Dolphin Swan stick back for me to finish off shining it, it such a goodly shite and briney day I sat in the garden wiv it init?

Like a good sister should she produced beer from the boot of her jam jar and asked me to show her how to do this whittling lark.
As it happens I was putting an edge back on a funny shaped thing I bought in Newark, unhappy with my purchase cos it didn't have that crack when I got it.
So I picked up a lump of fencing and started to play with this weird tool, I produced the quickest most practical piece yet with just a blade and a bit of scratch.
Within 10 minutes I had made something small enuff to fit sis's hand and big enuff to fit her gob, RESULT!!!
A drop of sunflower oil to finish it and more beer init?

Maybe not perfikly symmetric but so easy to do and very quick, why don't whittlers start on these???

Cos most new starters don't have a nifty little tool with a crack in it:funny::funny:

You're going to gain a reputation for speedy gobstoppers Brian. Just don't tell everyone they're so quick to make so you can charge more for them. Wish my sister brought me beer:rolling:

Our Brian's sister is over the moon
Because he made her a goodly spoon

He's very happy and full of cheer
After necking all his sisters beer

But all wern't well when she had gone
She took away his beloved swan !

:wink:Vic:wink:
