carving of figures on a flat wood panel a low relief carving of a viking ship carving tools and a mallet in wood carving relief carving is a technique in which figures or patterns are carved in a flat panel of wood the same term is also used for carving in stone ivory carving and various other materials the figures project only slightly from the background rather than standing freely depending on the degree of projection reliefs may also be classified as high or medium relief relief carving can be described as carving pictures in wood the process of relief carving involves removing wood from a flat wood panel in such a way that an object appears to rise out of the wood relief carving begins with a design idea usually put to paper in the form of a master pattern which is then transferred to the wood surface most relief carving is done with hand tools chisels and gouges which often require a mallet to drive them through the wood as wood is removed from the panel around the objects traced onto it from the pattern the objects themselves stand up from the background wood modelling of the objects can take place as soon as enough background has been removed and the object edges are trimmed to the pattern lines in order to secure the wood panel a workbench with fixtures like bench dogs carver s screws or clamps is necessary carving tools come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes some aimed strictly at the hobbyist but others directed at professional carvers some carving tools are held with one hand while the carving is held in the other but most relief carving requires that the wood panel be secured so that both hands may be on the carving tool much of the skill required for relief carving lies in learning to grip and manipulate tools to get the desired effect tool sharpening is also a necessary skill to learn and dull tools are a severe obstacle to effective carving stages of relief carving edit create a pattern drawn on paper prepare a wood panel for carving this may be a single piece of wood or a laminated panel transfer the pattern to the panel using carbon paper as the transfer medium remove wood around the objects that comprise the pattern model the objects detail the objects tidy the background behind the objects apply a suitable finish to the panel styles of relief carving edit high relief usually between 1 2 and 2 in depth bas relief or low relief usually under 1 2 in depth deep relief usually over 2 in depth pierced relief where holes are carved clear through the wood some carvers prefer to finish their carving with a clear finish but others incorporate color and pyrography into their relief carvings 1 a low relief carving of a dragonfly 2 bas relief a close up of the crest for city of grande prairie alberta canada 3 deep relief
