Auxiliary tools for wood carving: mainly hammer, wood file, axe and saw. The purpose of the axe is to cut a large amount of wood with the help of paring. Pay attention not to use too much force when cutting. Do not cut straight up and down. The edge of the axe should be kept at about 45 degrees with the vertical wood grain, otherwise the wood will crack. Hainan GRC component wood file is mainly used in the fine blank stage of round carving, which can replace the flat knife to smooth the chisel marks for polishing; It can also take the place of round knife or oblique knife for hollowing. The function of the wood file is also that it can quickly adjust the modeling structure in a large area, and can be used in combination with the carving knife to make the turning and turning of the figure's clothing patterns vivid and smooth, with both virtual and real effects. The shape of hammers for wooden sculptures in Hainan is flat, flat, wide and square. The dimension of hammer face can be controlled at about 7 × 5.5 × 2.5 cm. Too narrow or too thick will affect the accuracy of the hammer's landing point and the uniformity of force. There are two kinds of hammers: wooden hammers and iron hammers. The wooden hammers generally use hardwoods with a large proportion of wood, such as mahogany, boxwood, sandalwood, beech and fruit trees. The specifications can be controlled at 27 cm in length, 55 cm in width and 45 cm in thickness; The grip is round and slightly flat, and the size is suitable for holding in the hand.
The art of carving various patterns and images on stones, usually also refers to sculpture handicrafts carved from stones. Chinese stone carving can be divided into bluestone carving, marble carving, white marble carving, talc carving, black crystal carving, colored stone carving, pebble carving, etc. Hui'an, Fujian, is famous for its bluestone carvings for architectural decoration and stone lions, among which the mouth of the stone lion contains stone beads that roll freely, and is famous in Southeast Asia. The marble carving in Yunnan is made from the marble of Diancang Mountain. Its patterns are like colored mountains and rivers, or dangerous peaks and valleys, or waterfalls follow the clouds. The inlaid furniture is unique. White marble carvings in Quyang, Hebei, Fangshan, Beijing and other places were mainly used for palace architectural decoration in the Ming and Qing dynasties, such as Huabiao, stone lions, railings, etc; Modern times are used for decoration of public and memorial buildings, such as the Great Hall of the People, the Monument to the People's Heroes, Chairman Mao's Memorial Hall, etc. Talc carvings in Haicheng, Liaoning Province and Laizhou, Shandong Province use small and cute animals as traditional varieties.

In countries where wood building flourishes, wood carving develops with architecture. Modern wood carvings have quite diversified styles and features, and artists like to use abstract forms to express them. In addition, wood carving is also an important contributor to the invention of printing. Please see woodcut prints for details; Stone carving: The regions where stone carving is developed have a lot to do with where the stones suitable for carving are produced. The regions where stone carving is developed have a long history of stone carving. In the past, stone carvings were often used as decorations of gardens, signs of doorways, or architectural decorations of mausoleums.
