Wood carving techniques for intricate designs and sculptures include relief carving, in which the design is raised from the surface; chip carving, where small chips of wood are removed to create patterns; and carving in the round, which involves carving a three-dimensional sculpture from a single block of wood. Other techniques include whittling, carving with gouges and chisels, and using power tools such as rotary tools or chainsaws for more detailed work. These techniques require skill, precision, and patience to achieve intricate and detailed designs in wood carving.
