Question

Which of the following tools is used for wood carving?

• A. Claw
• B. Gouges
• C. Bush
• D. Hammer

Hint:

The main cutting tools in woodcarving are chisels (for flat cuts) and gouges (for curved cuts). The variety of gouge sweeps (curves) and widths is what allows for detailed sculptural work.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Distinguish between general and specific tools. A hammer is a general tool for striking. Claw or bush hammers are specific to stone or masonry.
Step 2: Determine the specific wood carving tool. Gouges are essential wood carving tools. These chisels have curved cutting edges and come in various shapes for scooping wood and creating curves. Although a mallet (a type of hammer) is used, the gouge or chisel performs the cutting.
