Wood and Stone Carving

Wood and stone carving are artistic processes that involve shaping materials into sculptures or decorative objects. Carvers use tools like chisels, gouges, and knives to carefully remove material, revealing detailed forms and textures. Wood carving typically allows for flexible, intricate designs due to the material's softness, while stone carving demands precision and patience, as stone is harder and more durable. Both disciplines require skill, planning, and craftsmanship, often serving cultural, religious, or aesthetic purposes. The resulting works can range from functional furniture and ornaments to masterpieces of fine art.
