WOOD FOR WOODCARVINGS

.
AN INTERESTING TIDBIT  
about the shape of the wood 
in wood carvings.

The flat rectangle board (on the left, below) is the beginning of a
"Relief Carving"
such as
Mother Teresa, The Incredulity of Saint Thomas (Doubting Thomas),
Outdoor Man, etc.

The triangle type of wood
(to the right of the rectangle wood)
and
the round piece of wood
(the bottom picture)
is the beginning of a Santa, Elf, Green Man
or any carving "In the Round."
The top right piece of wood
(top picture)
and the middle picture
is the beginning of a Santa.
Amazing?
