eCountryLifestyle introduces you to Berry Williams who is primarily a wood whittler whos 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, stressing 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!
