2. Making a sketch: according to the design requirements, draw the required patterns and shapes on the paper and mark the wood.

3. Pre-carving treatment: cut the wood according to the preliminary shape with a saw or carving knife, and smooth the surface with a scraper or grinder.

4. Carving details: according to the sketch, use a carving knife or other tools to carve the wood, paying attention to detail treatment and symmetry.

5. Polishing: Use sandpaper or other polishing tools to polish the carved wood surface, and then apply transparent paint or coating to protect the wood and enhance its visual effect.
