Carving techniques

Carving techniques refer to methods used to shape materials like wood, stone, or even ice into desired forms or designs. Common techniques include relief carving, where parts of a surface are carved away to create a raised design, and deep carving, which involves removing more material for a three-dimensional effect. Tools such as chisels, knives, or specialized carving tools are often used to achieve precision. Carving not only serves artistic purposes but can also create functional objects, demonstrating craftsmanship and creativity in transforming raw materials into beautiful or practical items.
