>Just getting started with a whittling knife? Go make a wheel. I used to go to primitive skills meetups, and at one of them I met a guy who taught woodworking. At the meetup, he carried around a few blocks of wood and some basic tools, and when he sat down to eat he'd bang out a wood spoon and eat with that. This was good advertising, but he said he did that sort of thing a lot for practice.
