Any type of wood can be used in woodcarving, but there exists an exception for resinous and coniferous varieties because of their soft fiber. There are about 8 types of wood species utilized in wood carving, such as mahogany, maple, linden, oak, walnut, ash wood, sweet cherry and pear.

Moreover, tools that are used in woodcarving should be sharp.
