Whittling is fun, it is when you carve shapes out of wood with a knife. Have you tried it?
I have not tried whittling before. I don't think I would be very good at cutting shapes out of wood with a knife.
Well they have special knives for it, with thick handles for better leverage. 
That might be beneficial to some people. I still don't think I would be any good. It does not sound like something I'm interested in.
It is not for everyone, but it a good way for some to do art. 
I've seen some cool things from whittling. Some people can create awesome things with special attention to detail.
Some are so good that they can repeatedly shave slivers from a piece of wood to make a shape. 
I would imagine doing something like that would take a long time.
It might be more of a hobby than career kind of thing.
Well, for some people it makes a great hobby! It is just not for me.
