Christmas Whistles

I have been making toy whistles for a few years now. These two in this post are my most recent. 
I am attempting a new concept for the eyes on my toys and I am liking the results. 

 These whistles are 6" tall and 2" in diameter. They have been carved from reclaimed pine. 
After carving they were sealed with boiled Linseed oil and then painted with acrylics, then several coats of polyurethane were applied. For a finishing touch, a light sanding and then the application of a beeswax polish. 

These whistles will make a great addition to a decorative collection or as a stocking stuffer. 


You can find more of my work at Mac Farsider's Carvings on Facebook or visit my shop on Etsy.
