3 Excellent Wood Carving Projects For Beginners & Experts Alike
#1: Whittling
#2: Carving in the Round
#3: Relief Carving
#1: Whittling
A great place to start once you get your new wood carving tool set is whittling small pieces of wood. When people think of wood carving as a hobby, whittling designs into spoons, animal shapes, and creating other small pieces are usually the first projects to come into people’s minds.
#2: Carving in the Round
Carving in the round means exactly what it sounds like: carving three dimensional, typically wooden, objects. Carving in the round requires you to pay close attention to the wood fibers and the strength of the material you are using. If you are carving a wooden bird, for example, in the round, it could be easy to accidentally carve too much off and end up with a bird with no tail or legs. Carving in the round is a great way to practice your wood carving skills.
#3: Relief Carving
Relief carving is actually in some ways more difficult than carving in the round, because it requires more care to ensure that the single viewpoint or perspective looks how you want it. It’s all about fashioning raised patterns on a usually flat surface. Reliefs can be just about anything you can imagine.
