Wooden sculptures are three-dimensional artworks created by shaping and carving wood. Artists use various techniques, such as chiseling, sanding, and polishing, to transform raw wood into intricate designs. These sculptures can range from small figurines to large installations and often reflect cultural or personal themes. The materials used for wooden sculptures can include different types of wood, such as oak, mahogany, or pine, each offering unique textures and colors. Many cultures, including African and Native American, have a rich history of wooden sculpture, often using them for religious or ceremonial purposes.
