hand carving
Knife-shaped wood art
Hand carving is the craft of shaping wood, stone, or other materials using hand tools rather than power equipment.
The term distinguishes traditional techniques—chisels, gouges, knives—from machine-assisted methods: The artisan specializes in hand carving ornamental details.
Hand-carved objects often command higher prices for their craftsmanship and uniqueness.
