I disagree with Drew on the topic of the benefits/consequences of whittling.

Granted, not all "whittling" hobbies are the same. And there is something to be said about the differences between "whittling" and "carving".

As a young boy, I did both whittling and carving in that order. I began whittling things out of sticks and wood, and later moved to carving more intricate things, usually with soap or some other material. I would say carving soap gave me a good concept of physics (even 10 years before I ever took physics in high school) of the angle of the blade, the concepts of friction, shaving of layers, and using the burr of the knife. (Later when I went to learn about such forces in physics, it just confused me however.)

In any case, if you've ever carved soap, used exacto knives or other razor sharp blades to make small models or objects, I believe the experience with sharp blades against surfaces does give you information relevant to scraping, and further helps you to understand differences in the fibrous texture of cane.
