Wood carving tools
There are various carving techniques and for every carving type are required dedicated tools. Cristin's works are mostly relief carvings of medium to large sizes and depth, so it requires relatively larger chisels and a carving mallet, like you can see in the pictures below.


There are other types of smaller carving tools that does not require a mallet. These tools are perfect for smaller works of art. Below you can see a typical wood carving knives set for chip carving.

There are, of course, more types of wood carving tools, but this site focuses mainly on the regular chisels used for relief carving, which Cristin is doing.
