wood sculpture

Timber artistic piece

Wood sculpture is three-dimensional art carved, shaped, or assembled from wood.

The term covers everything from traditional hand-carved figures to contemporary abstract pieces made by cutting, joining, or burning wood.

Unlike woodworking focused on furniture or utility, wood sculpture prioritizes artistic expression: The gallery featured African wood sculptures alongside modern pieces.
