My next project that I am trying to do is an old whittling “whimsey” that I found. The ball in a cage is a challenging project that I found layed out fairly well at:
So far, I have started roughing out the project and am just fixing to start carving the ball piece free.
Unfortunately, my first attempt at carving the ball in a cage, did not turn out successfully. During the process of freeing the ball, one of the sides broke and I had to scrap the project. I will definitely be trying it again sometime though. It is now a challenge to get it right.
