The Bird Whittler,
Birdwhittler's craft
Take one individual who studied birds in their natural habitats then give him a general purpose Stanley knife, a block of wood (lime) and tell him to whittle a lifelike songbird.
Kent's very own "Bird Whittler" arrives almost 20 years later
Learn about and see the Bird Whittler for yourself and experience first hand the craft of whittling. Meet Glyn in person and watch a unique craft being demonstrated and see his ability to capture the birds by shape and pose, then see when he paints how the natural feathers and lifelike colours come out in the bird.
Every mount is individually picked for the bird whittling. The size shape and position that the bird will take are carefully selected before placing on a moulded wood plinth.
Individuality: -
Whittling projects have been bought and displayed not only in the UK but also in Italy, Germany, Switzerland and the USA
Read about Heston Blumenthal's spoon idea and then take a look and see how the spoons were whittled from a few branches of a Myrrh tree with a Stanley knife and the Bird Whittler's many hours of patience.
