1. First practice carving something simple with radish, such as a gourd. You can find a gourd to observe carefully, and then carve the radish into a gourd with a knife according to the outline of the gourd! Don't be afraid of failure, you must practice more.

2. When you can easily carve the plaything or ornament you want with radish, you should first draw the picture and text you want to carve on the carving, or directly search online, or you can easily find the pattern you like, and you must practice more on radish.

At this point, you can buy a meat cleaver that suits you. It's not difficult to buy, and it's sold at the flower and bird market. If you have enough RMB, you can buy a set of electric grinding meat cutters, which are much faster than meat cutters. Remember to use a woodworking drill. Personal suggestion: Be sure to wear thick gloves when using.

4. Carve the required approximate shape with small wooden blocks, peach trees or practice peach stones, then draw the required pattern on transparent paper, and draw it on the carved chess pieces with blue paper. If you have certain artistic skills, you can draw them directly. Then slowly carve according to the lines. Generally, convex lines and concave lines are easy to distinguish in online and offline drawings.

5. Finally, polishing. It must be polished with coarse sandpaper first, and then polished with fine sandpaper after the carving is smooth. If it's peach wood or peach stone or olive stone, it's best to add some oil. Olive oil is the best, if there is no other salad oil.
