1. Purpose and Meaning of Splitting and Carving

Splitting and carving are cutting and chip-producing techniques to produce simple commodities as well as to design and produce objects of arts and crafts from the natural material of wood. Splitting of wood is looked upon here as prestage of carving to prepare the raw material for the drying process.
