Many sites listed here exhibit a variety of styles, rather than focusing on a particular fashion of carving. This category also lists sites that feature whittled chains, pocketknives, and other tricky projects. Finally, some carving websites will appear here until it's time to establish a new subcategory just for them.
Within the Carving category are subcategories worth exploring: Caricatures, Chainsaw Carvings, Chip Carvings, Relief Carvings, Wildlife Carving, Formal Statues and Busts, and Fine Art Expressions.
We've reserved the Carving category, as well as its subcategories, for sites that give only minor consideration, if any, to selling. If you want to purchase woodcarvings, you'll find what you want in "Shopping."
