Techniques
Wood Carving is one of the most common practices in sculpting. Very subtle details can be carved in wood by using a variety of razor-sharp tools, from gouges to saws. The hands of the woodcrafters must exert the appropriate force so the wood is not damaged, which requires the mastery of this art.
