What did woodcarving apprentices do when they were young?

What woodcarving apprentices need most is care and patience. Because of manual wood carving, slow work makes fine work. We must not be impatient.

First of all, under the arrangement of the master, you should gradually get in touch with every process in wood carving, such as embryo opening and carving techniques in some parts. After getting familiar with it, it will be carefully carved. During this period, you should be familiar with all kinds of related carving knives, use different models to carve those patterns and so on. Then you have to contact some polishing procedures.

Finally, the master taught you to open your face. In the woodcarving Buddha statue, the most important step is to open the face. If you learn well, you will become a teacher.

Wood carving is a kind of sculpture, which is often called "folk craft" in China. Wood carving can be divided into three categories: three-dimensional round carving, root carving and relief carving. Wood carving is a kind of work separated from carpentry, which is classified as "joinery" in China.
