The Carving Technology Program prepares students to make a living at woodcarving. Students explore use of tools and techniques used in carving wood as it applies to furniture and architectural millwork. Students will begin by gaining skill in simple layouts and learn to sharpen and maintain tools. As student progresses, both low and high relief carving as well as incised lettering will be mastered. Period furniture and architectural carvings are eventually mastered. Students will be qualified carvers in furniture shop or prepared to start own business.
