• Working with hand tools is a much slower process but unless you are experienced in carving wood, it is also far safer – you have finer control over your actions.
• The tools you require will include a set of wood-workers chisels of assorted sizes – ensure that they are sharp

         

In addition to chisels, other items required could include wood-carving knives as well as wire brushes to carry out finer work and clean and smooth out crevices on the carved areas.
