Carving Tools. A number of tools, more or less like the preceding, are usedin wood-carving. Some of these carving tools are flat, withrectangular edges; others are oblique to the direction of theirlength, with a bevelled edge on both sides; others are concave,with a circular edge, or have two edges meeting in a are straight in some cases; in others, curved. As only a few of these tools are used in slojd carpentry, to.

The inclination of the edgeto the surface of the wood may thus be altered at will, as thecircumstances of the case require. Narrow surfaces, or sur-faces of generally circumscribed area, may thus be levelledand smoothed to a certain extent (though not perfectly) bythe knife, the axe, the chisel, etc.; but when long and broadsurfaces have to be made absolutely smooth, we require an
