Carving is the most direct way to work wood. A knife, a gouge, a piece of wood, and your hands. No machines, no jigs, no complicated setups. Just sharp tools and controlled cuts.

These guides cover carving techniques from whittling with a pocket knife to detailed relief work, with the tool selection and sharpening knowledge each approach requires.
