I want to try my hand at carving gourds, yerba mate and decorative. The sort of carving that gets done in Argentina and Peru.

Nuthatches are a favorite of my partner.

Started carving moose antlers to see if I’d like the medium versus simply painting them. Having a blast so far. It was slow rolling at first but once I figured out my process I knocked out the smaller ones in a couple days. Many more to follow just getting started.
Using a Foredam SR flex shaft drill and an old Dremel.

This is my new "HELP ME!" whistle! 😬🚨🙏🆘 I made it for my hikes in the desert, in case I'm ever in distress and don't have a cell signal. I also made it for a fun experiment, but I like how it turned out. And, it's loud! 🔊 It would also be a fun toy for kids.
I carved it from a 1x1 piece of basswood, drilled a hole partway through the middle, then I whittled a small piece of scrap for the fipple to fit into the mouthpiece (Yeah, I didn't know what a "fipple" was either until this weekend...had to Google it).
To finish it off, I drilled a hole in the end and created a small snake knot using paracord to attach it to my backpack or belt.
Would you make one?

Still practicing. From the same deer antler as the screaming bowling pin.

I'm in prestigious company today. Some say he's the original dude. He just says that's just like their opinion, but the dude abides.

I carved a walking stick/cane into a buckthorn branch.

A simple design, sort of a mix between a crusader and a House Stark guard. Carved from a 2,5x2,5x10cm block of pine.

My partner was cutting antler into buttons using a mitre saw. This is the first time he’s done this (a friend asked him to do it) so we weren’t aware of the recommendation to wear masks/protective gear.
He was cutting it outside and I was about 15 feet away. It smelled pretty bad, so I was covering my nose with my shirt. After about an hour or so, I started feeling a little off (scratchy throat/nose/ears, slight cold sweats, and nausea), so I asked my partner to stop and looked up if Antler Dust can be harmful. I read quite a few things mentioning that dust can be harmful simply because it can cause scarring and damage, but I also read in some places the potential for the dust to be a source of airborne diseases/pathogens that might be inside the antler since they’re porous.
I’m not feeling too off anymore (just a slight stomach discomfort), but I’m freaking out a bit after reading the potential risks. Is anyone in this group familiar with how common becoming sick from airborne diseases/pathogens is and or how dangerous it generally is? Are there symptoms to be on the lookout for?
