"Whittling for me is more than just an art. It is like meditation and rather therapeutical. Every single time you create something, it brings you the delight and also the happiness that meets your mind and soul".
This is the reply I got from an old practitioner when I asked him how do you interpret Whittling. Then I realized the core idea behind this craft. It comes with no deadline, no pre-written script, no rules, and just pure expression of your emotions through a knife and a piece of wood.
In the present times, when all the self-help gurus are talking about Digital Detox, Whittling comes as a strong contender to pass on to the young and the old alike.
My Journey in Whittling
My wife introduced me to the world of Whittling 5 years ago. As I was already into Leathercraft and Pyrography, I got the basics quickly. But reaching the intermediate level in any art requires practice and patience. It has been an incredible journey for the last few years, working alongside her on various Whittling projects.

I have included realistic photographs, discussions, tips, FAQs, which I have received along the way of my journey in Whittling over the years.
Still on the fence?
Okay, let me explain to you the difference between Wood Carving and Whittling?
Whittling is like an unplanned vacation (go with the flow), and Wood Craving is like planning a vacation through a tour operator
And lastly my favorite analogy:
When I was struggling to understand the concept of wood grain initially, one old-time whittler told me, "Think of the grain-like petting a cat. When you pet it head to tail, the fur all lies down, and the cat purrs. If you try to go from tail to head, it spikes up, and the cat gets very angry. Keep the cat happy."
So what are you waiting for, get the book now and start your Whittling Journey

Well, you have been hearing a lot about DevOps lately, wait until you meet a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)
Google is the pioneer in the SRE movement and Ben Treynor from Google defines SRE as," "what happens when a software engineer is tasked with what used to be called operations." The ongoing struggles between Development and Ops team for software releases have been sorted out by a mathematical formula for green or red-light launches
Sounds interesting, how do you know which the organizations are using SRE: Apart from Google, you can find SRE job postings from LinkedIn, Twitter, Uber, Oracle, Twitter and many more.
I also enquired about the average salary of a SRE in the USA and all the leading sites gave similar results around $130,000 per year. Also, currently the most sought job titles in the tech domain are DevOps & Site Reliability Engineer.
So do you want to know, How SRE works, what are the skill sets required, How a software engineer can transit to SRE role, How LinkedIn used SRE to smoothen the deployment process?
Here is your chance to dive into the SRE role and know what it takes to implement best SRE practices.
The DevOps, Continuous Delivery and SRE movements are here to stay and grow, its time you to ride the wave
There are many blogs, videos, Quora posts discussing the similarities and differences in both the practices. SRE was developed by Google for internal consumption and overlaps with the DevOps culture and philosophy.
Now Let's See a Definition of DevOps & SRE
- DevOps is more of an organizational culture which fills the gap between coder and the operation person and aligns them to the overall organizational goal.
- SRE is what happens when a software engineer is entrusted with operations
This book explains both of them in length and also covers relevant case studies and success stories and implementation strategies.

There are very few crafts in the world which gives as much satisfaction as Pyrography- Anonymous
Whether you are a Technology professional like me or Financial Consultant or a Teacher, we all need to unwind and splash our creative juices once in a while and appreciate the power of imagination.
This book is targeted at people from diverse backgrounds, trying Pyrography as a beginner and looking for to the point, minimalistic, value-packed information to start off with their first project.
Why Pyrography?
Of all the crafts I have done, Pyrography is the most value for money. It gives me immense satisfaction and serves the purpose for which I practice the art on the weekends.
The best part is this art has got something for everyone.
If you are a beginner, get a scrap wood and use your existing soldering pen to start the artwork. Later, you can shift to a proper burner. If you like calligraphy, you can burn letters. A friend of mine is a space enthusiast, and he is making space ships
With experience, you master the art of shading, which gives depth to the artwork. Drawing hair, fur, or skin of an animal takes time, but it is worthwhile to put the effort.
The best part of this skill is it makes one of the best presents for the loved ones. As the art ages with time, it leaves a memorable piece of history to the coming generation.
The best person to guide you is the one few steps ahead of you
This is not a traditional book but an effort from your friend to present the experience and discussions while learning this art in the last few years. I am not an expert (there are many I know who are just fabulous) but just a learner improving with each project.
This book provides a minimalistic approach to the information required to start your first Pyrography project. It covers:
Introduction to the art: The history and steps involved
Tools: All about tools involved: Detailed instructions on using Wood Burner including different tips
Designing, Tracing, and Shading: I must say the shading part only comes by practicing
Coloring, Polishing, and Finishing
Safety Instructions: Very important and highlighted all through the book
Step by Step instructions on 10 starter projects with pictures
Frequently Asked Questions (All the ones I could remember and not covered in other chapters)
Sample Designs: Mandala, Tiger, Dragon, and more.
I still remember the initial doubts I had and the tips which helped me.
This book is for people who are in their first lap of Pyrography journey and want to have a holistic idea of processes, tools and need help in their initial projects.
I have included photographs of realistic projects of beginners explaining the process and standard operating procedure while starting.
So, what are you waiting for? Get this updated book and start your Pyrography Journey Today
