wood carving tools

Wood carving tools are specialized instruments used to shape, detail, and sculpt wood. Common types include knives with sharp blades for fine details, gouges with curved edges for removing larger material and creating curves, chisels for straight cuts and shaping, and veiners for intricate lines. These tools vary in size and blade shape depending on the detail and depth of carving desired. They are typically made of high-quality steel for sharpness and durability. Proper use and sharpening are essential for precise work, allowing artisans to transform raw wood into detailed sculptures, decorative objects, or functional items.
