What does a carver do?

A carver is an artisan who shapes and designs materials, typically wood, stone, or ice, into decorative or functional objects through techniques such as cutting, chiseling, and shaping. Carvers often create sculptures, intricate patterns, or detailed reliefs, and their work can be found in furniture, architecture, and art. The craft requires skill, precision, and an artistic vision to transform raw materials into finished pieces. Carving can be both a traditional craft and a modern artistic expression.
