What is wood carving? ?
Wood carving is an ancient technique in which the wood is processed into a three-dimensional sculpture or relief, by hand, using carving sculptors and with the help of maces and sometimes shuffins.
בגילוף, פעולת העיבוד הנה חד סטרית, אפשר לפנות עץ – אי אפשר להוסיף עץ. ולכן In carving, the processing operation is one-way, you can clear wood – you can’t add wood. Therefore, thorough preparatory work is required, followed by a careful search for the statue hidden inside the tree.
