Wood Carving

Various Types of Wood Carving

There are several types of woodcarving that use only hand-held carving tools. These include:

–          Whittling, which is the easiest type of carving to practice. All you need is a carving knife and a block of wood or a piece of wood.

–          Treen carving which uses a basic wood chisel set used to make household items from a single piece of wood.

–          Lovespoon carving which serves to make symbols of love such as rings, doves, and hearts. This technique serves to make for decoration rather than practicality

–          Relief carving which entails creating the art by cutting a layered picture into a flat piece of wood. So the depth of the carving reflects shadowing as well as the overall difficulty of the piece.

Reasons to Take up Wood Carving

Here are some reasons why woodcarving is great and thousands of people love it. First, it’s cheap and easy to learn: all you need are some tools and a creative spirit.
