Craft is a magical word that refers a set of activities that require skill, dedication and 
innovation for the workers to make an item. It is a combination of new ideas and the 
necessary skill to make the idea stand in front of the eyes. A craft item is basically 
developed for utility with added beauty. 
Technical crafts use the techniques and methods that have been in use for many decades. They 
use tools that have been designed centuries ago. With modern artifacts certain parts of the 
craft items are machine made combined with the work of craftsmen. Handicraft items are 
always an attraction for the labor involved as well as the uniqueness of the item.
To make a craft piece, the apprentice must have the required skill to handle the tools to 
make the required design, speed and patience. These qualities will help an apprentice to 
make masterpieces of certain types. When the craft item involves more labor then it is sure 
to get applause from the fans. Many items like textiles, metals, wood, glass, pottery are 
all used in making craft pieces.
Carving Wood
Carving is a favorite hobby for some people. Those who look at these people will definitely 
feel envy for the great skill gifted by God. Though these skills are god gifted for some, 
you can also learn the same provided you have the interest. Skills can easily be developed 
through practice. When you want to become painter you have to start painting on the board. 
When you practice more and more you will become a great painter. This is true for any art. 

With proper guidance you can greatly develop your crafting skill.

To carve your favorite design on the wood you have chosen, your tools must be sharp and your 

wood must be smooth so that carving tool slides as if it were placed on a piece of silk. 

When you have this silky movement you can carve fine designs on your wood.

When you have decided to indulge in the hobby you have to decide what type of wood you are 

going to use. There are many different types of wood to choose from. The wood is generally 

strong because of the tensile strength. The density, weight and durability differ with 

different types of woods. Certain types are vulnerable to fungus attack while certain types 

can last for centuries. 

The size and shape of the wood must be such that your design fits well in that wood. You can 

get a piece of wood in your desired shape and size from craft shops to make a homemade wood 

craft for yourself. You may leave the wood in the natural shape or cut it to suit your 

needs. 

After cutting the wood you must sand the surface smooth. This step is very important since 

you need a smooth surface for carving your design. The thickness of the wood must be uniform 

after smoothing the surface. When your wood becomes slant the final piece won't sit well on 

your wall.

Basically you need a chisel to carve your wood. First trace your design on the smoothed 

wood. Then use your chisel to carve the background. Then start carving the interior designs. 

Various chisels, veiner and gouge are all available in the market which you can buy to carve 

your favorite design.

Many guides are available on the internet. You can register with these sites and start 

learning the art. Some websites offer online purchase of your carving tools while others 

suggest the shops from where you can buy the tools. When you develop carving as your hobby, 

you can decorate your home and you can also make money by selling your handicrafts.
