Wood carving is a timeless craft that transforms raw timber into intricate decorative art. Among the most popular techniques, relief carving stands out, where designs are carved into a flat wooden surface, creating a raised pattern. This method is ideal for wall art and ornate panels.

Chip carving involves removing small chips of wood to create geometric patterns, often used for decorative boxes and furniture accents. Whittling, the simplest form, uses a knife to shape wood into figures or utensils, perfect for beginners.

For more depth, sculptural carving allows artists to create three-dimensional figures, while intaglio carving carves designs below the wood’s surface for a sunken effect. Each technique offers unique possibilities, blending tradition with creativity to produce stunning decorative pieces.

Whether you're a novice or a seasoned carver, mastering these methods opens endless artistic opportunities.
