Got something new started. Hope it looks like a snake when I get through. We will see.

I can see that you have the "Snake Body" divided up in sections, so how does that work? I'm curious to understand the pencil marks.

Looking forward to see the finished snake!

My guess is you're making links to give it some wiggle action?

The marking are to be links so it will have a little wiggle. And the plans are for a ball in a box for the last section. Thanks for looking.

Yes Sir that is the plan. But the best laid plans of mice and whittlers......

That sounds pretty neat. I've never attempted whittling so it will be cool to see the finished product. ::nod::

If I tried to make a Snake like you're doing, it would look like a tangled up string of Christmas lights... :shock:
