Woodcarving - kind of arts and crafts (also carving is one of the types of artistic treatment of wood along with the sawing, lathe work)
Strict classification is not, as the same product can be combined in different types of thread.
Conditionally three main types:
1. sequentially thread (here is propyl and Proreznaya thread)
2. deaf thread (all subspecies of relief and ploskovyemchatoy thread)
3. sculptural carving
4. house-thread (a separate direction, because it can combine all three of the above type).

Cross-cutting thread
Pass-through (jig) thread - is divided on the proper cutting and bill, has two subspecies: Proreznaya thread (Transverse sections cut using chisels and incisors) and propyl thread (actually the same, but such areas are cut saws or jigsaws).

Ploskovyemchataya thread
Ploskovyemchataya thread characterized by the fact that its basis is a flat background, and the elements of thread go deep into it, that is, the lower level of carved elements is below the level of background. Several distinct subspecies of this thread:

* Contour thread - the most simple, the only of its element is the groove. Such grooves, notches and create a pattern on a flat background. Depending on the chosen chisel groove may be semi-circular or triangular. Semicircular slotted semicircular chisel, and a triangular - with a chisel, corner, corner chisel or an ordinary knife in two stages.
* Skobchataya (nogtevidnaya) thread - the main element is a bracket (outwardly similar to the mark left by a fingernail with pressure on any soft material, hence the name nogtevidnaya) - a semi-circular notch in a flat background. Semicircular incision is made such a chisel in two stages: first, deepen the chisel into the wood perpendicular to the surface, and then at an angle at some distance from the first incision. The result is a so-called bracket. Many of these brackets of different sizes and directions, and creates a picture or its individual elements.
* Geometric (triangular, trehgrannovyemchataya) thread - has two main elements: a peg and the pyramid (recessed into the triangular pyramid). Running thread in two stages: the tattooed and pruning. First cutter prick (outline) of the sector to be cut, and then undercut them. Performs all the elements of a knife-frame. Repeated use of the pyramids and the pegs at various distances and at different angles gives a great variety of geometric shapes, among which are distinguished: diamonds, viteyki, combs, chains, lights, etc.
* Black-glazed thread - the background is a flat surface covered with black lacquer or paint. As in the contour thread slotted grooves on the background from which the image is constructed. different depths of grooves and their different profiles give an interesting play of light and shadow and contrast of black background and bright cut by the grooves.

Relief carving
Relief carving is characterized by the fact that the elements of thread are above the background or on the same level with him. Typically, this technique performed all the carved panels. Several distinct subspecies of this thread:
* Ploskorelefnaya thread with pillow background - can be compared with contour threads, but all edges of the grooves zaovalivayutsya, sometimes with varying degrees of slope (from the picture more sharply from the background of gradual slope). Through such zaovalennyh contours background seems made out of pillows, hence the name. The background is on par with the figure.
* Ploskorelefnaya thread with selected background - the same thread, but only the background is selected chisels on the level below. The contours of the figure zaovalivayutsya well.
* Abramtzevo-Kudrinskaya thread (Kudrinskaya) - was born in Manor Abramtzevo near Moscow, in the village Kudrin. The authors believe Basil Vornoskova. Thread has a typical «florid» ornament - curly petals, garlands and flowers. Often uses the same distinctive images of birds and animals. As ploskorelefnaya, sometimes with a pillow and font selection.
* Thread «Tanya» - this type of thread has appeared in the 90's the 20 th century. Author (Shamil Sassyk) called this style formed in honor of his wife and patented it. Typically, this thread contains a floral ornament. A characteristic feature is the lack of background as such - one carved element gradually changes into another, or superimposed on it, so filled the entire space.

Sculptural carving
Distinctive feature - the presence of sculptures - images of individual pieces (or groups of figures) of people, animals, birds or other objects. In fact, the most complex form of carving, as it requires from the cutter surround vision figure, a sense of perspective, preserving the aspect ratio. It is considered a separate subspecies Bogorodskaya carving.
