Woodcarving chisels

Wood carving chisels are essential tools in every carver’s workshop. The type of chisel used depends on the desired outcome and the type of wood being carved. Chisels are suitable for both rough shaping and fine detailing and can be used with hand pressure or with the help of a mallet or carving hammer.

The use of a chisel is determined by its shape and blade profile. Common types include straight, curved, and spoon-shaped chisels, each available in various sizes and degrees of curvature. The cutting edge can be flat, gouged, or V-shaped, allowing for different types of cuts and shaping. High-quality chisels offer precision, control, and edge retention when working with both soft and hard woods.
