carved wood

Handcrafted wooden sculpture

Carved wood is wood that has been shaped by cutting away material, typically to create decorative or artistic forms.

The phrase often appears as a modifier describing objects or styles: carved wood furniture, a carved wood panel, carved wood figurines.

It emphasizes the handcrafted nature of the work, distinguishing pieces from those that are molded, printed, or mass-produced.
