I am studying the Middle Ages, and am supposed to whittle something. I have never whittled anything more than the point to the spear I made from a stick, and don't know what to whittle. Any ideas for a simple beginner's project? Thanks for any help.

Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. First of all, here is a site with Middle Ages and the weapons used:

Now, select a weapon you believe you can whittle (it doesn't have to be life-size, does it?) and then look for images/pictures with the following site:
