Here you can read and watch how I whittle a Blue Tit.

I get asked many times, "How do you set out to whittle a bird?" And I hope you enjoy reading and seeing the block shape start out, and in this example, you will see the added challenge of turning the head.

Marking out the bird is important because you have to understand that when the head is turned, the body takes its own position too. You will also notice below the blue tit's beak I have left on, and as I start to whittle it will be taken off because a new beak will be added within the wood on top of the head.

I will be adding photos as I go, so you can get a feel for how I'm working with the Stanley knife over the bird.

I have marked out where I feel the head position should be, but this can change.

I am hoping by the end, I will have a completed blue tit, but as many know, it's not always the case.

I am off now to whittle, and I hope you will join me on the next part of this whittling journey!
