Carved Woodwork

Company Stavros offers a full arsenal of items made using carved woodwork. But it is worth understanding on your own what each item is for. Generally, there are two types: openwork or through carving. It can be through or overlay, which in turn can be carved using gouges and chisels, or sawed using a jigsaw. Thus, using an electric jigsaw is the easiest way to perform carved woodwork.

• Window and door casings;
• Carved balustrades;
• Roof ridges and others.

How to Start Wood Carving

First, the raw material is selected from which the carving will be made. Usually, attention is focused on coniferous wood. One can say about:

1. Pine;
2. Spruce;
3. Fir.

Second, future photos of carved woodwork are examined. In other words, an outline is chosen. For this, when the pattern is selected, it is drawn on paper as if it were already being carved.

For convenience, a well-drawn sketch is transferred onto the material to be cut. Only after this does the process begin. Keep in mind that small details may be invisible on a large ornament, so first choose the pattern correctly, considering proportions, i.e., it can be enlarged.

What Tools Are Needed for Carved Woodwork

Photos of carved woodwork clearly show how complex the work is. For this, it is better to take not just one small knife, but a set of special chisels and also a gouge. Only working with such tools, especially for beginners, is difficult. For this reason, it is best to use drills, saws, for example, jigsaws and hacksaws. The tools will largely depend on the complexity of the ornament and its size.

Craftsmen most often use electric tools, as manual labor has already moved to the background. However, before using them, one must learn how to operate them.
