Many sites listed here exhibit a variety of styles, rather than focusing on a particular fashion of carving. This category also lists sites that feature whittled chains, pocketknives, and other tricky projects. Finally, some carving websites will appear here until it's time to establish a new subcategory just for them.Within the Carving category are subcategories worth exploring: Caricatures, Chainsaw Carvings, Chip Carvings, Relief Carvings, Wildlife Carving, Formal Statues and Busts, and Fine Art Expressions.
We've reserved the Carving category, as well as its subcategories, for sites that give only minor consideration, if any, to selling. If you want to purchase woodcarvings, you'll find what you want in "Shopping."

"Intarsia" is an ancient Italian woodworking and lapidary method for making 3-dimensional pictures with wood, petrified wood, and/or stone. Modern intarsia scenes often use pieces between .125 inches and 1.75 inches thick, fitted together like a jigsaw puzzle and attached to a backing board. The natural colors and grain patterns of different pieces are carefully chosen to enhance the design, though some artisans prefer to use stains or dyes instead.
This category is for sites dealing with the art of Pyrography. Pyrography is the art of creating pictures on wood using a hot iron to burn the wood.
