Wood carving as an art form, includes any kind of sculpture in wood from the
decorative small objects to life-size figures. The wood used vary greatly in
hardness and grain. The most commonly employed woods includes
boxwood, pine, pear, walnut, willow, oak, and ebony. The tools are simple
gouges, chisels, wooden mallets, and pointed instruments. Although they were
universally one of the earliest art media, wood carvings have with .stood
poorly the vicissitudes of time and climate. A few ancient examples have been
preserved in the dry climate of Egypt, e.g., the wooden statue of
Sheik-el-Beled (Cairo) from the old Kingdom
