I have a suggestion. Start with Styrofoam and an Exacto knife. Graduate to Balsa wood. Learn the techniques and feel of the blade. White pine takes substantive hand strength / control. A few trials with the prior materials...away you go. Good fortune!
Love It! :) I sent this link to my husband and my 18 year old son... Then I sat here and waited to hear them both say "oh my god!" "ONE piece of wood..holy shit!" lol Very cool!
I've been in manufacturing for over 30 years now. I'm still old-school. All manual machines and techniques....supporting folks who need "Onsies" and automated production. Still love to watch the "Old-timers" ply their passions.
