I really love  whittling, it's the art of carving shapes out of raw wood using a knife.
Oh fascinating, I have heard of it but dont really know much about it, What kind of things do you make? 
I usually just make little action figurines, I use a light small-bladed knife, like a pocket knife.
Thats really cool, Id like to make some tiny action figured myself, How many years of practice did it take you?
About 5 years, some people also just repeatedly shave slivers of wood over and over again in a non-artistic way, that's also called whittling too.
