Making a Simple Tree Limb Whistle

Making a simple whistle from a seasoned tree limb has always been a very popular project for the kids in my woodshop class. For this project I used a well seasoned piece of scrap wood that I cut off from one of my sourwood walking sticks. For more information visit my blog at http://woodtrails.blogspot.com

comprehensive list of materials. tells exactly what to do. and to rockin' music. I'm going to try to make one with several holes. Out of cedar - since that's what I have on hand right now.

Thanks for sharing.

@GhostDoggiestyle Yes. It would be the same principle as a recorder.

Can you drill holes above the air slot - along the upper shaft and have different tones based on which hoels are covered with your finger - kinda like a flute?
