Feast your eyes on the wonderful Thai wood carving contest
Everybody knows that woodcarving is easy; you start with a big enough plank or log, and you visualize inside it the shape you want. Then you just chip away all the extra wood. Easy as pie. The carver’s art lies in knowing how to remove only that unwanted wood, and not a sliver more, for once it’s gone you can’t glue it back. You can get somewhere the first time you try it, then you can spend the rest of your life acquiring mastery.

Wood carving
wikipedia
Wood carving is a form of working wood by means of a cutting tool held in the hand (this may be a power tool), resulting in a wooden figure or figurine (this may be abstract in nature) or in the sculptural ornamentation of a wooden object. The phrase may also refer to the finished product, from individual sculptures, to hand-worked mouldings composing part of a tracery.
