Yes. Carving wood is a physical change because you are changing its appearance without changing what its made of.

Is carving wood a physical or chemical change?
a chemical change involves the formation of a new compound, whereas a physical change just changes from one form/state to another. An example is boiling water changes it from a liquid to a gas but it's still water(H2O) so thats a physical change. However somthing like metal rusting involves the addition of oxygen so iron rusting would go from Fe to FeO2 which is a new substance, hence a chemical change. Carving wood (though not an element as in this example) causes a physical change but not a chemical change.
Wood roating is a physical or chemical change?

Is hammering wood together to build a playhouse a chemical change or a physical change?
It would be a physical change because you are changing the shape of the wood not the chemical composition of the wood. However, you could possibly create a chemical change if you could hammer hard and long enough to burn the wood. Not likely, but it is possible.
Why is carving wood a physical change?
