Relief carving can be described as carving pictures in wood.

When finished, the block presents the appearance of flat relief carving, with the design standing out.

But most relief carving requires that the wood panel be secured so that both hands may be on the carving tool.

The raised print was created by enlarging the relief carving of a traditional houndstooth print onto a rubberized material slab to generate yards of silicone fabric.

The process of relief carving involves removing wood from a flat wood panel in such a way that an object appears to rise out of the wood.
