What are the woodworking carving tools?

1, flat knife: the blade is straight, which is mainly used to smooth the concave and convex of the wood surface and make it smooth and seamless. Using a large-scale model to chisel a large-scale wood carving has a sense of blockiness, proper application, picturesque brushwork effect, vigorous and powerful, vivid and natural. The flat knife is carved at an acute angle, which has a strong wood-interesting knife flavor. 2, round knife: the cutting edge is curved, mostly used for round and round dents, and it is also very useful when carving traditional flowers. Horizontal transportation of round knives is labor-saving and can adapt to ups and downs and small changes. Moreover, the line of the round knife is uncertain, so it is flexible to use and easy to grope. 3. Oblique knife: the cutting edge has an oblique angle of about 45 degrees, which is mainly used for the joint angle of the work and the corner removal light at the hollow joint. If you carve the corner of a character's eye, an oblique knife is better. Oblique knives are divided into forehand and backhand oblique to adapt to all directions. 4. Medium steel knife: the cutting edge is triangular, because its front is on the left and right sides, and its sharp point is on the middle corner. Therefore, the heavier the push, the thicker the line carved by the triangular knife, and vice versa. Triangular knives are mainly used for carving hair and decorating lines. During operation, the triangular tip pushes on the wood block, and the sawdust is spit out from the triangular groove, and lines are carved at the position pushed by the triangular tip. The auxiliary tools of wood carving mainly include hammer, axe, saw and file. The purpose of the axe is to cut a lot of wood with the blank. Be careful not to cut too hard or cut straight up and down. The axe blade should keep about 45 degrees with the vertical grain, otherwise the wood will crack. The use of wood file is mainly in the fine blank stage of round carving, which can replace the flat knife to smooth the knife mark file for polishing, and can also replace the round knife or inclined knife for hollowing out.
