Woodcarving

Woodcarving is a craft where artisans shape and sculpt wood using tools like knives, chisels, and gouges to create decorative or functional objects. It involves removing selected portions of wood to form intricate designs, figures, or patterns, often emphasizing craftsmanship, detail, and artistry. Woodcarving can produce anything from elaborate sculptures and religious icons to furniture accents and reliefs. The process requires skill, patience, and a good understanding of wood’s properties. It’s both a traditional art form and a practical skill that celebrates the natural beauty of wood through creative expression.
