I rounded the end, and added a groove for a lanyard.

A little sanding and a buffed on coat of lacquer and it's ready to slip into my pocket.


Hope you enjoyed it!!!

I'm sorry, Maybe this has already been asked - or maybe you already pointed this out - But what is the wood you are using for this project? The grain is fantastic!! Great Instructable :D !!!

Very cool. I would have appreciated a brief "what to do" for those of us who don't have a lathe but would like to have something other than a rectangle for a whistle. As for me, I think I would maybe chamfer the corners with my chisel (and then maybe chamfer again), and then go over it with a rasp. Never done it, so I don't know how it'd work, but I think that's what I'd do. Nice one, though!

just use a dowel instead of the rectangular piece.

I have made whistles in wood with a round hole, and a piece of dowel for the mouthpiece that is sanded so that it lets a little air in by a hole that looks about like a crescent moon or fingernail clipping.

Yeah, good call. A chisel would not give you a very uniform chamfer.

Thanks for the great instructable.  Clear and complete.  I've made whistles in the past, but with only limited success.  Using my lathe and these instructions should be a big upgrade.
