Students at Pali Charter High took their creativity, resilience, and whittling skills to the next level creating some really terrific pieces. Soap was soft yet brittle. One wrong move and your project could crumble in your hands. With basswood, students put the methods they practiced on soap (sweep cut, stop cut, v cut, and pull cut) into play. Additionally, they needed to constantly hone their knives on the stropping block to ensure they didn’t use too much pressure while whittling. Controlled, smooth cuts prevailed as did the students. Bravo!
