Weaving Wood Carving:
Carving.—To the layman, carving is the most obvious method for producing sculpture. In a broad sense carving comprehends any means by which the sculptor can reduce a piece of material to the form desired by removing the superfluous portions. For this reason it is often called a subtractive process. In the carving of wood the sculptor will use tools similar to those used by carpenters or cabinetmakers, that is to say, saws, chisels, files, etc. Almost all kinds of wood have been used for sculpture, but generally the carver prefers evenly textured woods with little grain. Large wooden statues are made by gluing several pieces together.The city of Rewa, formerly the capital c princely state and of the district of Rewa administrative center for one of the seven dis into which Madhya Pradesh was divided its reorganization in 1956, is about 70 miles s west of Allahabad.

By direct carving they meant carving without the use of a preparatory model, although small, sketchy models were generally condoned. The aim of these reformers was primarily to make the materials of the sculptor expressive. Some artists would contemplate a particular stone or piece of wood until the shape, the color, and the grain of the piece suggested a form within which needed only to be freed by the sculptor's tools.
